The Good
- Anchor Steam on tap gives this location a genuine San Francisco feel
- Connected airside to the International Terminal for passengers connecting from overseas
- Shower facilities are helpful for red-eye arrivals or long connections
The Bad
- Morning rush between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM fills the lounge to capacity fast
- Food options are solid but standard Sky Club level, nothing extraordinary
- Can get noisy during peak travel periods
Pro Tips
- Terminal 1 connects airside to the International Terminal. If you are arriving internationally and connecting on Delta, you can walk here without re-clearing security.
- The Anchor Steam on draft is the way to go. It tastes noticeably fresher than bottled and pairs well with the sourdough bread.
- Tech conference season (September through November) makes this lounge significantly busier. Plan accordingly.
- The back corner seats near the windows are the quietest and least trafficked area of the lounge.
