Over the past year, we have seen a number of domestic & international airport restaurants join the Priority Pass lounge network. This is an exciting trend if you are a Priority Pass member, as these restaurants offer substantial credits that allow you to dine for free.

On Wednesday, we saw Priority Pass add two new restaurants to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Francisco Giants Clubhouse, and Yankee Pier. Both restaurants are located in Terminal 3 which is the main terminal for United Airlines.

 

San Francisco Giants Clubhouse Information

  • The restaurant is open from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM and there will not be restrictions for priority pass members.
  • Located in Terminal 3, Concourse F, near Gate 82
  • Priority Pass members will receive $28 toward the purchase of any meal and/or drinks.
  • You can register one guest and will receive $56 total credit towards the purchase of a meal and/or drinks with a guest.
  • You can not use any remaining balance towards gratuity
  • You will need a confirmed same-day boarding pass to take advantage of the credits (though this could be at arrival)
  • You can find the restaurant's menu here.

 

Yankee Pier Information

How to Get Priority Pass Membership

The easiest way to become a Priority Pass member is to hold one of the credit cards listed below. All of these cards include Priority Pass as a benefit of card membership. The Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Platinum Card from American Express are going to be your best bet with the most lucrative membership. However, the American Express Platinum Card will also get you into the Centurion Lounge which is also located in Terminal 3.

Bottom Line

It's great to see Priority Pass continue to add restaurants as a part of program membership. They seem to be filling gaps in airports without a traditional Priority Pass lounge option or in this case adding more options to airports with lounges in place. This is just another way in which I justify the annual fee on my Chase Sapphire Reserve card.
