This isthe second time I've eaten at Bourbon Pub in the San Francisco International Airport. Having a sit down dinner in an airport isn't always a great experience but for the first time I was impressed by how good their Bourbon Burger was. BOURBON BURGER 25 dollars caramelized onions & mushrooms, bacon, gouda, truffle aioli, brioche bun. My wife was with me this time and she loved it too. We had a red eye to New York City and got there just in time before they closed at 9:30pm. I thought that was a little early for a restaurant with a full bar to be closing, this place does very good business. We felt a bit rushed but managed to wolf down the burgers and fries before they kicked us out. We each had Margheritas which were also very good. read more

Service was impeccable! So fast! Accessibility: there is a wheelchair ramp right at the entrance but the interior is pretty tight so you'll need to maneuver a mobility device. Armless chairs are great addition. Food: very good. The bread pudding lived up to the hype. The caesar with salmon was fine. read more

Ok, so admittedly I love any Michael Mina restaurant but an airport one? Celebrity chef airport restaurants are hit and miss for sure. This one - a hit. Now, let me preface I was on basically two straight weeks of work without a day off, and some tough (but great days) with a lot of hard work and not a lot of food, but the meal I had here was 10/10, 5 stars all the things. I got the bourbon burger and a gem Caesar. The burger was juicy, the bun was buttery and just perfectly soft and crispy all at the same time, and the truffles aioli and cheese were so good. The salad, perfection - light, simple, and refreshing. I don't eat burgers with buns but this day I decided to make an attempt at low maintenance and I'm so glad I did. I ate dinner on the phone with my husband and was far from a decent conversationalist while I gobbled the entire dinner up. When in SFO I will absolutely go back again - the Alaska lounge tends to have pretty good food but this one will be tough to pass up. read more

Husband and I stopped in this morning for some breakfast before our flight. We got the Pub Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the potatoes and SF sourdough! Dishes are on the pricey side, but it's in the airport so that's expected. We were very impressed by the service. Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. read more

My flight out of SFO was delayed, so my husband and I had to eat dinner at the airport. Bourbon Pub was near our gate. There was a Salmon Belly Lechon special. Being from Hawaii, I love Lechon and eat salmon often, so I ordered it. I've eaten salmon dishes at many fine dining restaurants in Hawaii, and this dish was literally the best salmon meal I've had! The deep fried salmon with the garlic rice was an amazing combo! The salmon was fatty, the skin was crispy, and the garlic rice had a subtle but wok tasting smoky flavor. My high compliments to the chef! Definitely the best meal that I've had at an airport! read more

Relaxing place. Friendly staff. Bourbon burger was good, with bacon and mushroom. Beef had a nice char, but medium was more like well done. Comes with fries or salad. I chose the latter, and it was pretty fresh. read more

I ended up here while killing time at the airport after a few grueling days with a client, the kind of days that make you question all your life choices. I needed food, a drink, and preferably both quickly. This spot looked open, inviting, and then I noticed the wall of bourbon. At that point, the decision was made. Somewhere on that wall, I was convinced, was a bourbon with my name on it. I'll be honest though, the experience didn't start off great. It took quite a while for the bartender to acknowledge me, and even after she finally came over to take my drink and food order, it felt like I was suddenly invisible again. She seemed to give noticeably more attention to the male guests sitting around me. I'm not usually one to get worked up over things like this, but even the person sitting next to me picked up on the weird vibe. It was... noticeable. That said, let's talk about the food. The burger was solid, thick, juicy, well-seasoned, and exactly what I needed at that moment. The fries were also great: hot, crispy, and gone way too fast. And of course, the real star of the show was the bourbon. Excellent selection, and it absolutely did its job. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite and a good drink while waiting for a flight, this place will get the job done. The food and bourbon won't disappoint, just hoping your service experience is better than mine. read more

Came in with low expectations for an airport restaurant and left impressed. The space is an open-air pub with plenty of outlets at every seat, huge plus. My server, Maila, was fantastic. Even as the place got busy, she juggled clearing tables, greeting guests, and helping other servers without ever neglecting me. Always attentive and upbeat. Ordered the Korean BBQ salmon burger and it was surprisingly good. Perfectly cooked salmon, fresh ingredients, and tons of flavor. Overall, a great airport dining surprise. read more

Objectively 3 stars, but more like a 4 on the airport scale given the lack of competition... My Korean Barbecue Salmon Sandwich (verlasso salmon fillet, kimchi, cucumber, cilantro, pickled jalapeño, ginger aioli) was flavorful and generously portioned but oversauced to the point of falling apart halfway through eating, necessitating a knife and fork to finish. The accompanying fries, while also plentiful, were similarly rather soggy. This open-air pub offers a pleasant respite from the general terminal area, but some of the tables and chairs are a bit too close together for maximum comfort. Service on my visit was a mixed bag as well - while friendly, the server seemed like he was covering too many tables at once, forcing me to flag him down several times. Thankfully, I had plenty of time to kill before my flight! read more

Last month we were heading out of town for Thanksgiving. We arrived at 645pm to the pub and was quick to be seated (no one ahead of us). However, it took about 10 mins before we were acknowledged that the server will be right with us. Immediately right after that was said, Yousoof came. He immediately inquired about our flight and took our order as we were ready. We ordered the following: 1. Pub Nachos: It's huge! Chips are not stale and has a nice crisp to it. The flavor of the meat chili is good and very flavorful. The cojita cheese topping to the nachos is actually good as I'm very hesitant about cheese being on food. This is the first nacho that I've had that is loaded with toppings and not enough chips. The only thing was the chips on the bottom were so soggy. 2. Two orders of Bourbon Burgers, medium rare and one w/o mushrooms (for my 12yo and 10yo): The burger was cooked as requested and the cheese pull w/ each bite was awesome. And the bacon and fries was very crispy as we like it. My boys enjoyed the burger all through. 3. Hazy IPA 4. Stella (bottle). A glass was provided to pour the beer, but it wasn't cold/chilled. Drinking from the cold bottle is the better option. Yousoof brought us water and small plates in case we wanted to share the food. I noticed the tables to be quickly cleaned as customers left. Yousoof checked in during our meal a few times and refilled our water as needed. However, when we were ready to get our bill there was no one in sight for us to ask. Given the wall that separates the 2 sides of the pub, it was hard to see where Yousoof was but whenever he came he was very nice and polite and we were able to paid and get to our flight. read more

Very accommodating team, great food and good place to wait for your flight. I'll definitely come back.

I came in here for a beer at 3 PM for my 4-hour sit around before my flight. I saw this on the menu and had to have it. It's the best root beer float I've ever had. read more

Snagged a bar seat at Bourbon Pub at SFO while waiting for my flight and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the smoked salmon toast and a glass of bubbly and it was one of the better airport breakfasts I've had. The toast was topped with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, toasted capers and red onion. I'm not typically a fan of airport food, but Michael Mina delivers here. Solid spot if you've got time to kill and want something actually good before takeoff. read more

Just like most restaurants/bars in US airports - sloppy. Ushered to the table which was soaking wet, handed a wet menu and a paper placemat which soaked through immediately. Service is nice enough but doesn't make up for the indifference of the restaurant ownership who know that very few will come back anyway. read more

Had the salmon bagel and it's ok at best. Honestly wasn't too happy, the taste was really underwhelming. Other dishes looked better. Had a beer also and overall service was good at the bar. read more

I ate an early breakfast here and had a fantastic server. I had the chilaquiles, which were delicious, but way more food than I could manage at 7am. Good food, attentive service. And Terminal 1 is a dream, so quiet. read more

All airport food is a tad pricey, so you might as well pick a place that has proper table service. If you have the time, it's a much more civilized experience than getting a to-go bag elsewhere and scrambling to find a place to eat. Plus the food is actually pretty good for airport food! Chicken & Waffles: Exactly what I was craving before a long cross-country flight. The waffles are a lot heartier than normal waffles, since they're made with cornmeal. Though they still manage to be crispy. The chicken is boneless, for easier eating. But it's not like some cheap tenders, it's thick chicken with a nice crispy batter. I made the mistake of putting all the syrup on the waffle at once, which meant it was all absorbed halfway through and wasn't crispy any more. Probably better to dip as you go. read more

Of course when you get to the airport you have to have your obligatory beverage! This place was conveniently located next to our gate. The menu looked pretty good but we werent there for the food. Of course you have the over priced beer and beverages. I believe my beer was $15 for a pint and that was pretty much the same thing with the cocktails. There was a lot of room at the bar and they had a few tables around the bar. The server was super nice and made a nice cocktail. We ordered a side a fries and they were super tasty and perfectly crisp. We asked for the spicy kind with the chipotle mayo dip. read more

Bourbon Pub SFO is located inside the airport amongst other surrounding restaurants. I stopped by here on a Saturday morning before my flight back home. I waited for the host to seat me, and then shortly my server came by to assist me. I decided to order the yogurt parfait that included chia seeds, honey, granola, pomegranate, mint leaves and apple slices on top. I really enjoyed the granola sweet bits mixed in with the chia yogurt and the honey made it sweet overall. 5/5 I did not feel heavy afterwards and consider it a very light breakfast to have. For my drink, I ordered the "OLD FASHIONED" ritten house rye, sugar, bitters perfectly made can taste the bitterness but not overwhelming. 5/5 Overall a pleasant quick stop to grab a bite before departure to your next destination. Staff was delightful. I will come back here the next time I am landing or getting ready to depart from SFO. read more

Quite possibly the best airport dining experience I have ever had! It was a rainy, chilly and overcast day and quite sad since we were leaving SF but this burger made me feel wayyyyy better. Plus the ridiculous mango cart beer that wasn't too sweet and the lovely ladies behind the bar and the lunar new year dragons roaming the terminal behind - all made me feel warm & fuzzy inside. Burger was perfectly cooked and the toppings sang such a beautiful harmony that I finished every last bite (this never happens). read more

I had had hopes of visiting "The Club at SFO" in Terminal B before my flight this afternoon, but the lines were insane, so I resigned myself to paying actual money for lunch and started looking around. Bourbon Pub looked plausible - they had salads for my wife and a burger for me, so we gave it a try. She ordered the Apple Salad with chicken and devoured almost every bit of it (she was kind and gave me one of the glazed pecans). I had the Steak Burger (secret sauce on the side) and thoroughly enjoyed it, though I felt guilty about having the fries (good, not great) instead of a side salad. Our server was there when we needed her, and we had no trouble getting a refill for our waters; the food came out quickly, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy it before our flight. The pricing was a bit painful - $25 for the burger and fries, $18 for the salad plus $12 for the chicken. Add tax and 5% "employee benefit surcharge" and we were at $62 before tip, but that's the way of the world these days. I left happy, full, and ready to fly - what more can you ask from an airport restaurant? read more

Made a pit stop here before flying back home last month. I was craving some chicken strips & this place hit the mark for me! I was extremely bummed that French fries didn't come with the order but at least there was some celery in its place. ( I do love my veggies !) The Mac & cheese was cooked perfectly and was creamy but it was borderline too salty. Given that we were starving and in a rush we didn't notify our server of this. Ooo & I wish I would have gotten his name because he was absolutely amazing! Super tentative and he even noticed use trying to watch football on our phone and put it on the big screen for us. What a guy! Would be interested in trying this place again when I get to come back to SFO. read more

Airport food is hit or miss and this place was decent. Limited menu, I ordered the fish and chips. There was no flavor in the fish. I finished the fries and drinks.

Sit at the bar. Don was our bartender and took great care of us before our flight. Very attentive and the best!

Sorry, but this was a total disappointment. The hummus was runny. The vegetables were not fresh. Perhaps even soggy, one might say. They seem to have five people running around the restaurant and yet owe me. One person was serving us and he was constantly delayed and being called over by the other 20 tables obviously. And very stressed, although nice. Also shockingly while the restaurant is called bourbon pub we were given a menu that had food and another menu that had beer, wine, and cocktails, and no menu with bourbon on it! We had to wait about 10 minutes to get a bourbon menu. We will not be returning. There are so many other excellent options at San Francisco airport I recommend visiting them. read more

Great food and bar, Jason was amazing with outstanding service. good lighting. overall a fun time.

Had a fantastic bourbon burger here. Ordered it medium and the beef was tender with a nice sear. Truffle aioli was delicious. Bread was great, toasted but still soft. Pickle on top a little bit of an afterthought (translucent and soft). Got the salad which was nothing to.write home about but got the job done. Fresh greens, thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, and some halved grape tomatoes. Dressed with a very light vinaigrette. Service was quick and friendly. Tables are pretty close to each other. Plenty of TVs around if you want to watch sports while you're dining. I was in and out in a little over 30 minutes. read more

This place is always busy, and for an airport restaurant, the food is very good. Most of the servers are also very kind and friendly. I haven't eaten here a few times. The burgers are good. And the apple salad I had today was gigantic and delicious. It was only one piece of yellow lettuce in the whole thing that I noticed. The combination of various greens with the sweet apple, rich cheese, and candy pecans is outstanding. I also had a bloody Mary, which was good, but nothing special. I asked for and received an iced tea to go and my server was always checking in with me. read more

I stopped here for breakfast while in the San Fran airport. The hostess was very polite and welcomed me in. I sat at the bar and started with a mimosa, it was great. I try to eat light when flying, so I tried the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The English muffin was nice and toasty and the bacon was thick. I also enjoyed the breakfast potatoes, it's pretty hard to mess those up. This was a lovely morning airport stop that wasn't too crowded or pricey. read more

great SFO bar. The food is good and a great whiskey selection. Don the Bartender is the best!

Guest review: The Wife The first thing I was asked upon being seated what what time I was boarding, which I very much appreciated. I received my meal within 5 minutes of being seated. I ordered an egg and cheese sandwich with avocado on an English muffin, and the yolk was runny and delicious. The sandwich was lovely (I forgot to get a photo before diving in!) and messy, as was to be expected from the slippery combination between egg and avocado. The accompanying home fries were lightly seasoned with paprika, crispy, and delicious. All in all, a very enjoyable way to have a meal before an early morning flight. read more
