Pro Tips

The airside connector to the International Terminal makes this accessible if you are arriving internationally. Walk over without re-clearing security.
Ask the bartender about the California wine rotation. They often pour interesting selections from smaller Napa and Sonoma wineries.
This lounge is less crowded than the United Clubs in Terminal 3 because American has a smaller footprint at SFO. Take advantage of the calmer atmosphere.
The far corner near the printer area is the quietest spot for phone calls or focused work.
