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, concourses C, D, E, F, and G are all connected airside to the Centurion lounge. From boarding areas A or B you would have to clear security twice. For the most up-to-date info, see Connecting in SFO thread in the FlyerTalk San Francisco forum.
Q: Can I visit if I'm arriving at SFO?
A: Centurion Lounges no longer offer access on arrival.

after going to the distillery in Lexington Kentucky I have a fondness for Evan Williams which is the bourbon that United pours in their clubs. They don’t allow doubles no matter how much you tip, but you can keep on ordering one after another if you like. It’s the house pour so there’s no charge. It’s funny that the bartenders in the G lounge never say thank you

Surprisingly we didn't have to wait. We showed up at 9:15 and my party of four walked right in. The lounge wasn't super busy when we got there, but was packed by 10am with folks trying to find a place to sit.
The food was OK - the food wasn't the best but I've had worse breakfasts at lounges.
I guess we got lucky.

I'm surprised nothing has changed. I may have posted the 7 PM closing time here based on my last visit in early May. It's already summer and these guys should get their act together and start closing much late. 9 PM would be a nice start!

And opening time is 6am, not 8. 6 already misses some of the UA early bank of flights (to Midwest/east).

Yeah, wish they would stay open for the UA redeye bank, at least for the bulk of them, and could be helpful for those on the late night ULH flights - SIN, for example, still leaves at night, doesn’t it. UA has ORD departures ~midnight, and I think even a 1am to to IAH.

It would be more beneficial if the CL closes later rather than opening earlier.

This has never been a good lounge for the late Asia departures . . . pre-pandemic, it was a 10 pm close, but they pulled all the food around 9 pm, i.e., same as Polaris.

Was on the way from United Polaris Lounge to E4 yesterday around 10am, thought I'd try checking in to CL. No line or wait, but man was it packed in there, didn't see any seats available. Just looked around, grabbed a buttermilk biscuit from the buffet, and continued on to my gate.

Stopped by here on the 20th around 9:30AM, no lines as well but it was packed inside with no seats available. Grabbed 2 bananas and what I thought were 2 apples but ended up being nectarines and left. I love nectarines so I count that as a win.
