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.

CL crowding at SFO is pretty bad from my experience. I'm here now at 9am and there are no tables. I was sitting with a family. I am leaving shortly to go to the rotunda club.

Friends, American Expresss The Centurion Lounge - SFO bar will undergo renovations for a couple weeks. It is scheduled to begin tonight or in the next few days.
The large natural wood table opposite the bar and adjacent to the wine wall will serve as a temporary bar to for basic cocktail service.
Don't forget to tip your bartender! Safe travels.

Now, I would be very happy if as part of this renovation they put in a soda machine so you wouldn't have to wait in line at the bar to get a Diet Coke.

I've been thinking about this remodel..Pehaps they'll be installing a tap wine and beer system along with other beverages (kombucha, nitro coffee) and the likes.. just a thought..

If you replace "Diet Coke" with just regular "Coke", I am all for this. I suggested this idea months ago. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is not obsessed with alcohol...

You can add Coke to Diet Coke, you don't need to replace it.
But there is no reason to make people deal with a bartender to get a soft drink - any more than there is a reason to have them get a coffee from the bartender.
This system may cost them more money. If I can get a soft drink at a machine, I will most likely do that. If I have to wait for a bartender - I'll get a (more expensive) alcoholic drink to compensate for my time.

Im unaware of the exact changes we should expect, but I figure Id share with the community since I learned of it from the staff.
In a previous thread, someone who valued more space and less crowds instead, nay, additionally visited United Club. I think AMEX is doing everything it can to improve Centurion Lounge crowding, now limiting access to Platinum and Centurion cardmembers.
Tip your bartender. Safe travels.
