FAQ
Q: Where is the lounge?
A: Terminal 3, F concourse, right by Gate F2 (formerly gate 75) and the F-1 security checkpoint (that has PreCheck, sometimes).
Q: Can I visit there if I'm departing from another terminal?
A: Absolutely. Security at SFO will let passengers departing from any concourse at SFO go through security in any concourse, even ones that aren't connected behind security. At the moment, Terminal 3 concourses E and F, and International Terminal concourse G are connected airside to the Centurion lounge. Some other concourses are connected to each other airside, but not to the point that you can walk airside to the Centurion. However, with a PreCheck security lane right next to the entrance to the lounge, it can be quite easy to clear security twice if necessary.
Q: Can I visit if I'm arriving at SFO?
A: It depends. If you're arriving in the aforementioned concourses E, F, or G, then yes, but only if you have a connecting flight. If you're arriving in one of the other concourses, then security at SFO won't let you clear into E, F, or G without a boarding pass departing SFO that day. If you're arriving internationally, again, you'd need a same-day SFO departing boarding pass to clear security.

Annoyingly, there was a waitlist for the CL friday around 3pm... . I didn't have that much time so I went to the UC instead, which was close to my gate.

I was at the SFO CL yesterday at 5:30 PM. Waitlisted, and when I went in I was shown to the one empty spot on a crowded table in front of the bar. I did not accept that and was able to get a table for the ten minutes I was there - long enough to discover that the food was horrific. Tasteless "butternut squash soup," (it seemed more like kale in water), unadorned chunks of sweet potatoes, very ordinary chicken. The atmosphere was crowded and frenetic and the staff were harried.
When the CL is not over-crowded it is pleasant, but this is the last time I go there if there is capacity control. I do hope we get some expansion soon. It's united clubs until then.

The wait was around 10 minutes, but YMMV. Next Friday is a holiday weekend, so depends on when people are flying out ...

I read that a T-3 and T-2 airside connecter is now open. Im guessing the AMEX and even PP Restaurants may be even more crowded.
