Free drinks included coffee, tea, and soda and there was a carafe of water and of lemonade and one of cranberry juice. Free alcoholic drinks consisted of red and white wine. The DOWN SIDE was that less than half of the power outlets worked and some of those that did work the plugs were so worn out that my power plug literally fell out of the outlet. Anyways 4 star experience down rated to 3 stars because of this.

I stopped at The Cub lounge at the SJC, near Gate A8 around 1:30pm on a Friday. I was on my way to…read moreSouthern CA and at that time of day, the lounge was not very busy. The lounge is easy to find and check in was a breeze. The space is large - you walk into a seating area and to the right is the bar and food. There are multiple areas to sit and even a quiet area set back from the rest. We found a seat and I ordered a sparkling Rose. Each table has a bar code that you an scan and order your drinks, they have a large menu to select from but you can only order one drink at a time. The drink arrived promplty and after settling in, we went to check out the food. The menu is not extensive, they had a salad bar, chips and dip, bar snacks, a soup and some fried rice. Not extensive but that is a relief sometimes because too many choices can be overwhelming. The onion dip was fabulous as were the bar snacks. The soup was nice and warm and mixing in some of the rice made for a very filling meal. They also have flavored water and fruit, packed and ready to go. The wine are mostly from CA but they had a couple of French wines, I also tried a chardonnay that hit the spot! There was one woman who sat right in the center of the seating area and proceeded to gossip and complain about work and her co-workers as loudly as if she was in her living room. It was long conversation and even though she was loud enough to be heard outside, no one came by to tell her to take it somewhere else. I took one star off for that - the employees should ensure that it is a welcoming place for all travelers not just the self centered ones. The best part of the visit was the dessert, they had a fluffy layered cake, covered with mousse, jam and topped with whipped cream - so good! This lounge also seems less crowded than the The Club in another part of SJC. You can buys a day pass or you can visit this place with Priority Pass. Overall a great experience and I would go back again.

Simply show your Priority Pass at check-in and scan your boarding pass. It's always nice to hang out in a lounge prior to the flight rather than sitting at the gate with the masses. During my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Sunday morning around 10:30AM. They had a BYO salad station, chicken tortilla soup, and cookies. The food options are meh, but typical and on par for a US-based airport lounge. You can also order a variety of complimentary alcoholic beverages from the QR code (I included a picture with some of the offerings as of April 2026). There is a water refill station by the restrooms. The interior is clean and there is plenty of seating. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Once we were let in after being called from the waiting list, the inside is very spacious, with plenty of seats to enjoy a meal, great food in my opinion, and a good selection of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you want a more private space, you can go to the small rooms on the side, but overall, this is the best place to go with your Priority Pass when you're at SFO!

If there's no wait list, you have 10 minutes to get to the lounge once you check-in on the app. If there is a wait, they give you a time to come back, so it's convenient to plan. If you have the black card, I don't believe you need to wait. But also, if you have the black card, wouldn't you be flying on PJs?? I do think it's not quite as luxe as I would have expected for the Amex brand, but it's not bad for free access. Space is pretty clean as well considering how busy it is.

The food is good and pretty varied - I had some Thai coconut soup, chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, and pancakes from the fun pancake machine. Halfway through my visit, they brought out some gildas & spanakopita. They're also stocked with treats like Ghirardelli chocolates, cookies, and more along with snacks. They have a freestyle Coca Cola machine but when I was there they were out of any diet options. I opted for an unsweetened iced tea. The bar area is beautiful and signature cocktails, house wines, and beer are included. There is an up charge for "premium" spirits, wine and beer. Overall this was a great lounge experience - plenty of seating, easy entry, good food, and good drink options. Well worth the $15 up charge for Priority Pass and I'd definitely return.

Alaska Airlines Lounge -- SFO Terminal 1…read more Red-eye out of Honolulu. Three hours to kill before the next flight. Walking off a plane at that hour, you are not looking for much, just somewhere quiet to land. The Alaska Lounge was right across from our gate. First time in, and the staff made it feel like they were glad we showed up. Friendly, genuine, no airport-zombie energy. The space is impressive. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac and the hillside, plenty of natural light, and seating for every mood: work tables, soft chairs, window loungers, even a private booth if you need to take a call. I planted myself at a window seat and didn't move. The bar is well-stocked. What stood out was having an actual barista on-site. Oat milk latte and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal, exactly what I needed at that hour. One honest note: the food selection was thin and several items needed restocking when we came through. The staff were apologetic and moved quickly, which matters. But the variety just wasn't there. Solid lounge. Good people. Great space. The food program has room to grow into what the rest of the experience already delivers.
