SJC AA sums it up pretty nicely.
But just to add a little more detail... The BA lounge opens at 3pm and closes after the last BA flight leaves. It's all the way over at the S gates, in the same lounge complex/hallway as a Delta lounge and maybe another a lounge. (Sorry, it's been a while since I've been there.)
In theory this is an official BA lounge, so oneworld lounge rules apply (i.e., as a non-AA oneworld elite, you should have access to oneworld lounges when departing on a oneworld marketed/operated flight).
