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.

You would not need to go through security.
As you are walking out, right before you would exit the secure area, there is a hallway on the left that will take you to Terminal 3.

I'll be travelling from YVR to SFO arriving in International Terminal G.
I would have gone through pre-clearance at YVR.
Is it possible to walk over to T3 to access the lounge then back to Terminal G to proceed to baggage claim area? Would I have to go through security along the way?

A bit disappointing
Took my daughter with me yesterday. Told her if she skipped the bookstore, she could get "bad stuff" like cookies and juices.
Friendly check in staff- place was very crowded, a bit dirty as a smaller staff couldn't keep up with the volume.
They said the gas was broken so no cooked food which I think they are famous for...Some healthy bits of salad (which normally is a nice reprieve...)...No desserts.......No cookies........No coffee cups....Lots of alcohol available but longish lines for it.....
So I went to the very nice check in staff and said, "Where's the crappy stuff? I promised my daughter crappy stuff." They very nicely went back into the kitchen and pulled out some apple pie squares.
It's meant to look cool and all, but like an American airport, it is too chaotic, some basics are missing, but the customers themselves were very friendly.

Was in for breakfast the other day, they had a new item (new to me), a sausage egg biscuit, it was very tasty. I borrowed some of the avocado mash they had for the eggs and spread it on... yummy!
*Also had the Bloody Mary for the 1st time... Bartender said it might be too spicy, was definitely good and not much spice to it, all in all, a great drink (It sounded like they make the tomato juice mix each day).

Lounge is overcrowded right now. They just have chairs scatters around so people can sit. Off to the United Club.
I wish there was self serve fountain soda. The bar line is way too long all the time.

Since my flight is delayed I've been lounge hopping. Went to the UC in the international lounge and they have a wall up if you were to keep walking straight off the escalator. You now need to uturn and use that portion of the club. I assume this is Polaris related.

Just stopped by and the door was locked with a sign saying the lounge is temporarily closed due to a pipe breakage.

Just in this morning, pipe still broken, no hot food/water, they have some brown lunch bags with yogurt, bottled water, granola bars, only good things is wifi. I asked why they don't just close the club, reception didn't have an answer. Kind of useless with no bathrooms, food, drink etc... Quickly made my way to the UC for a cup of coffee.
