Bourbon Pub

Caught a bite here before a redeye going back east. I knew I had plenty of time, but wanted somewhere close to the gate that I could sit down, open my computer, and get some work done with a drink, and some food. As a vegetarian, the options here were extremely limited. The initial service was great, however, in order to get anybody to come back to my table, I had to make eye contact and give them a hand signal, which was slightly annoying, as I was trying to focus on work. I got a macaroni and cheese dish, with crumbles on top, which wasn’t bad at all, especially for airport food. I would have it again. But it was one of the only vegetarian options available, and I really wasn’t looking to carb load. Atmosphere was very comfortable, just like in any airport. Folks coming and going, everybody minding their own business, yet we were all existing. I fly out of this terminal often, and as this is the most convenient place to eat, I wish they had other options so I could try something else. I definitely recommend this place, the location and flavorful food, will bring me back for the next redeye.

Bourbon Pub in SFO’s Terminal 1 is an absolute gem and a perfect stop before a flight. The service is incredibly quick, and the entire staff is warm, friendly, and welcoming — exactly what you need in a busy airport setting. The highlight of my visit was the bread pudding, which is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Rich, comforting, and perfectly made, it alone is worth stopping here for. Great service, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere — Bourbon Pub is now one of my go-to spots in the airport. Highly recommended!

These wings and a blackberry soda float really hit the spot! Nice mild heat, buffaloe blue cheese flavor and the fries were delicious!

Hi All, Khadijah was absolutely amazing. One on the most polite person you could ever meet. We wven ordered her accommodation in Australia anytime she wants. The service was way above normal. Thank you so much for our wonderful experience. Regards Leanne & Michael

You would think they might at least serve a $20 drink in a clean/not worn out glass. But no, this pub simply DGAF about that. I’ve had drinks from better glasses at dive bars in small towns with less than 10k population. For a “Bourbon Pub” in a place like SF is a case of sheer disdain against patrons.

Our server, Maila, really impressed me with the quality of the service she provided. Coffee cups were refilled quickly and often as was our water. She offered bottles of water and coffee to go as well. The food was OK, with the salmon toast being our favorite. The atmosphere is like a well lit bar, with tables for couples. It’s along one of the main routes for the B gates so easy access.

This bar was just fantastic the waitresses were very friendly & the burgers are fantastic, this place does get busy very quickly so come in early ok , but I can say the Bourbon Pub is a great place to enjoy the food & to meet new people 😃👍👍👍

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.

Delicious! We had the bourbon burger, buffalo chicken sandwich, and salmon burger Everything came out fairly quickly and tasted great. Service was pretty good too

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).

Some say you eat with your eyes.. This is just for bloody Mary which tasted good but presentation was just... Sad..... For $17, no extras.. pepper, celery salt, a stalk of celery? Nada... Just a pour of vodka and the mix. It was like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree of bloody Marys. Bartender was cool and attentive.

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.

We needed a bite to eat at SFO before a flight but had some time to kill. The service staff was very friendly and quick. The ambiance was fairly quiet with many tvs above the bar. The food was typical bar food. Nothing crazy but good quality and tasted fresh.

We had dinner here while waiting for a flight in Terminal 1. I ordered the Bourbon burger with fries and a Dr. Pepper. My husband ordered chicken tenders and the Fukiayaki fries. Overall the food and service were good. I dropped it in stars because my burger had a long piece of hair in it. They replaced it no problem but it kind of ruined the experience for me. They also seated people very close to each other and that wasn't the best ambiance.

Breakfast in the airport at a place called "Bourbon Pub" - Let's go! Ha! In reality, this was a pretty stand-up breakfast front the airport. Seating was a little slim as is often the case in many airports, but the table seating had some decent elbow room. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and potatoes which were nice and crispy. The service was surprisingly quick here too. If you are in SFO and are looking for breakfast, This is a great stop.

The food was very good. Better than the food was Myla our server. She was very helpful with menu & drinks. It was a nice way to wait in a beautiful airport.

I recommend the fish & chips and the Dirty Diane's Jalapeño Bloody Mary! The service is prompt and attentive.

I ordered an old fashioned and, while it wasn't my favorite rendition, it was certainly good enough. The fish and chips were above average, with the fish hitting the spot much more so than the fries. The service was solid as well, and she was pretty attentive when considering it was exceptionally busy while I was there. It is worth a visit if you have time to burn before your flight.

The hostess was friendly and welcoming. The waitress was rude, and demanded to take our order. This was our first time in SFO airport and wanted to eat good food, unfortunately the waitress ruined our stay. She was oblivious!

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.

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.

Bourbon burger was excellent! Juicy and flavorful - wish I hadn't split it. (Had to catch a flight) Staff was prompt and and friendly. Gonna head here next time!

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.

This is my favorite option in terminal 1! I've been here twice and have loved my experience both times. The food here is great! Today I had the chicken tenders and the furikake fries. I do wish there was a side option available for the fries, because the size they offer is way too much for just me. The portions here are huge! I believe last time I got the burger and the bread pudding and remember really liking them both! The service is pretty good, and it's nice to have so many chargers near the tables if you need to charge your electronics!

Expensive, especially when you add the 3% "we don't pay our staff enough" health fee, which all SF restaurants tack on. Yet, I expect insane theme park stadium concert prices, so I will give them five stars. Service was attentive, friendly, and fast. Though the place can get cramped, they offer many convenient single seaters, each with an outlet for plugging in devices. Without walls, it's easy to keep an eye on nearby gates to see all the B Group people start blocking the area. I got the heritage turkey burger that was gourmet-ish (guacamole, arugula, and harissa aioli, who I think went to high school with me) yet easy to handle, with unremarkable fries that were remarkably overcooked (which I like). The drinks come with 1.5 shots: I had an underwhelming $16 margarita (Espolon tequila, lime juice, agave), a Tito's and cranberry, and a potent mule (Tito's vodka, lime juice, ginger beer) in attempts to get sleepy for my 5.5 hour flight. It didn't work, but Oppenheimer did.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by this place! Just wanted a quick drink before our flight home, and Bourbon Pub delivered. Service was attentive. Drinks were reasonably strong, and atmosphere was relaxed. I can't speak to the food, but my whisky sour was tasty and well made. Oh and they have those paper placemats, so you can doodle while you wait for your order.

Who woulda thought... airport food and five stars. Not me...ever. Well, today they hit a home run. Both breakfasts were superb. My traveling companion thought the egg sandwich was best ever and my eggs and bacon were seriously top notch. No kidding. Temibal 1 near gate B9. It is truly good food and the server was a delight as well.

Ordered the Pub breakfast and it was delicious. Bacon was fresh, eggs were made just like i like it (over medium) and the potatoes OMG delicious! Service was fast and staff was great! Between Gate B7&B8

FOOD BEFORE FLIGHT On Black Friday I was flying to Hollywood Burbank Airport as I was heading to Pasadena for the weekend. At SFO I decided to eat here as this pub was next to the gate for my flight. When eating at pubs the items that come to mind for me are fish and chips and burgers. I decided to order the fish and chips. I also choose a side order of chicharrones - an item you never expect at a pub. What is a pub without ordering beer. I ordered a pint of Blue Moon. The fish and chips had a nice portion. The fries were crispy not soggy, but the batter on the fish was too oily. Since there were four pieces of fish I had difficulty eating all the fish. Therefore I had to sacrifice by not finishing the fries. The dish I preferred was the chicharrones. This dish was served on a piping hot plate. These aren't the stale chicharrones you buy from the gas station. The chicharrones at Bourbon Pub SFO were airy and crispy. Since I ordered fish and chips there was a lot of oil to consume for lunch. Even the pint of Blue Moon didn't help cut the richness of my meal. Anytime you order a snack that is tastier than the entree you question your dining experience at the eatery. My rating is based on that I enjoyed the chicharrones more than the fish and chips. Even though I didn't eat breakfast that day I somewhat regret coming to Bourbon Pub SFO to eat. I should have just waited until I went to Pasadena.

Best Bread Pudding Ever. Excellent customer service. Sweety the manager was an excellent manager. Jonas is a great server.

Ugh, the worst customer service! We stopped there on our way to Vegas because our flight was delayed three hours, and our server was a total nightmare. She was slamming plates and glasses down, super jittery and paranoid, it was so awkward. I finally asked for a different server. And the burger? Burnt to a crisp, overcooked, with cold fries. No one even checked on us, so we sent it back and just left. No thank you!

Quick trip to San Francisco. Dropped in for a drink while waiting for my flight back home. Was supposed to only be one, but ended up having two, so I added some Mac & Cheese add something solid to my liquid diet. Initially, I felt like the server was gruff. Turns out, it was just RBF. She was so sweet and helpful, to the point that she even left the dining area to confirm where my gate was. I wasn't sure and just assumed - she went and looked and told me that it was behind the restaurant where I couldn't see it. She was attentive making sure to check in on me even after I had closed out my bill. As for the food - liked it, didn't love it. The Mac & Cheese was almost too watery for my taste (see pics). Nothing to say about my two pours of Bourbon. I didn't pair the two - had one before the meal, the second after. The dish wasn't so bad that I didn't finish it all. I did. I just didn't like the platter clean like I licked the bourbon glasses. I appreciated how the counter height seating offered charging stations (see pics). It's where I hung out until my flight was ready for boarding. This was between 8 and 9PM on a weeknight. Wasn't busy so I didn't feel pressured to give up my seat for anyone waiting for one. Don't know how it is when it's busy. If or when I'm flying thru that terminal again (Southwest), I'd stop in again.

The good: cocktails were good, our server was very nice, and e we're seated pretty quickly. The not-so-good: food and cocktails took a long time to come out, food lacked flavor, they ran out of martini glasses so our martinis came in a rocks glass, big portions but prices definitely reflected it. This was my second time here and both times were just average. Lots of options at this terminal so choose wisely.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon. Although it looked packed, there was seating available. Due to the flights, people were leaving frequently. The staff seated us right away with no wait. We ordered their Bourbon Burger (medium well) with fries and a beer. The bread was tasty while the entire burger was super juicy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend. The fries were tropical but good. Our waitress was May who tended to us and was very friendly. She made sure we had everything and didn't go without a drink refill. I definitely recommend this place while waiting for your flight or after arriving into SFO.

Staff was super friendly, great menu, soccer on the tvs, and fun people watching spot. Great experience.

The food was really great, server that took our order was super nice. Food came quickly. BUT. The man that brought our food to us went to place the items down (avocado toast and breakfast sandwich) and placed the toast in front of me (women) and I said oh, no that's his! Mine is the sandwich. And he SAID.. "OH...OH REALLY??!" like ya bro, sometimes women don't eat the avocado toast or salad and order real food

SFO Airport location. Good service and I was able to watch the end of the Stanley Cup game while I ate! Root beer float was good. I love my food crispy but the chicken sandwich would have been better and juicier a little less so, and the fries needed to be more crispy!

Had the fish & chips which was ok but chips definitely not freshly cooked and on the cold side. Fish ok but batter a little under cooked. But food came quick which is good in airport.

Franklin and Francia were very helpful and polite. Great service! We had the Korean Barbeque Salmon Burger and it was really good. It came with the salad and the dressing was on point! Ambiance is nice too because you can people watch while you're dining. Location is good. Will recommend to my friends and will definitely come back.

After getting through security at the San Francisco Airport, this was an ok spot to have a bite before a late flight. This is the place to go for quick service and a quick bite that wasn't a pre-packaged grab-n-go item. It was nice to sit down to a hot meal. While the food was nothing outstanding, it was warm and satisfying. On top of food, it was nice to have a pre-flight whiskey sour to whet the whistle. If you're looking for a spot at the airport to eat that feels like you're sitting at an open-air diner, this is the spot. Decent food. Good service. Laid back atmosphere.

I was excited to try this place as my group and I had a long layover here, and I love being able to go sit down at a restaurant during those times. There was decent seating and we were sat right away. However, I feel like I was very underwhelmed with both the speed of service and quality of food itself. Upon being sat, we waited about 10 minutes before anyone even came to our table to acknowledge us or take our drink order so we felt pressured to do everything at once. Our food didn't take too long to come out, however my friend ordered the steak burger and salad, both of which had a hair in it. They did take it back immediately and bring her out a different one without complaining which we appreciated. I ordered the turkey burger myself and felt it was a little below average. The guacamole that was on it was a very dark green/almost brownish and could tell was not very fresh. I was very disappointed by this. My boyfriend ordered the sweet chili wings and chicharrónes, which was probably the best thing that we ordered. I also didn't feel like it was very good prices for quality of food either. I would just recommend making sure ingredients are more fresh when serving, being careful in the kitchen, an increased attentiveness to the tables for a higher rating!

got to sfo early, so decided to get a bite. Bourbon looked good ... and it was even better than expected. The host seated me with a view of the terminal; within a minute my server appeared (smiling); and within another 5 minutes my food appeared ... and my breakfast sandwich was great - it even had crispy bacon. It was not the cheapest meal I've ever had, BUT I'd eat here again in a heartbeat!!

I visited the airport restaurant on a Friday evening. Although we waited around 10 minutes to be seated, the food arrived surprisingly quickly after we placed our order. I tried the turkey BLT, which was decent but felt overpriced for what it offered. Additionally, the bread was overly crispy and a bit hard.

I thought it was a bit over priced but the amount of food they give you is definitely worth it. Totally shareable too. The chicken tenders were actually filled in that bowl. There was 6-8 tenders in there. They give so much fries. But the star was asking for a side of truffle aioli. It was so freaking good and trufflie. I can wait to have a stop in SFO again in this terminal. I'll def eat here just for that truffle.

This is an airport restaurant in the newly refurbished Havey Milk Terminal 1 at SFO. On the day I was traveling, the terminal was very crowded. However, the restaurant had plenty of seating for single travelers. The menu had plenty of options without being too many options. My server was prompt about greeting me, setting the placemat with utensils, and taking my drink and food order. The drink was provided immediately and food promptly. The seating area also has tables for couples and groups. All in all a good dining experience in a very busy airport.

May I recommend the breakfast burger. And if you arrive after 6 AM, you can get an awesome Bloody Mary to chase it down. The waitress even asked how both the burger and eggs should be cooked too.

The layout of this place is a little spread but it's an airport so it's understandable. The service was fairly quick and I was able to sit down and eat here in about 30 minutes before my flight. I ordered the chicken tenders and WOW! They are BIG tenders! The flavor was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I got about 5-6 big pieces of chicken, but I will say they had all that chicken with little ranch. I can't complain about the portions but if you're a sauce person order an extra ranch.

This place is convenient and fun. Whether you just need a seat at the bar or a table for 5, stop by and take a load off. Several outlets to plug in your devices prior to your flight. Unfortunately on this stop our waitress was overwhelmed and forgot to place our order in the computer. Luckily we had time to spare. It was clear she was stressing so no need to involve a manager. Beers were cold, food was delicious and lots of people watching while you wait for your flight.

With hunger hitting us after a long flight from FLL to SFO, why not eat at Bourbon Pub!!! The service was amazing and the staff was friendly. The airport seemed very pleasantly quiet. There weren't many gluten-free options, which is huge for our boy with an allergy, but we were able to find something for my son to eat. We ordered a burger with no bread and fries (which the fries were delicious). I ordered salmon toast, which was devine. My husband ordered the chili, which he said was good, but it had a ton of beans. For a meat eater, that's not what he was going for, but he said it was still a good chili! My daughter's breakfast burger was amazing (with eggs and bacon). Oh, and my youngest daughter's mac and cheese made her smile after a nice sprinkle of salt and cracked pepper.

Review for the breakfast. Huge portion for the salmon toast, can definitely be shared between two people. Chia pudding was delicious! Breakfast sandwich was 7/10. It's not the best food ever but definitely the best airport food I've had. Would stop here again.

Chicken tenders were so dry I could not eat them Sauces were bland Service was meh. Terrible even for airport food

Quality, service, ambiance, luxury scrumptious taste and FABULOUS attention to client request was 100 for the start of the morning at the SFO terminal for the early morning time. To my surprise the breakfast sausage is chorizo styled cut from Smith, their vendor which was both hearty and rich. The pub breakfast comes with two eggs any style, potatoes are dashed with cayenne and paprika for a nice little kick but subtle and delicious to the cook to the well done house potato styled serving, it comes with sour dough and one portion of bacon or sausage I splurged on one additional bacon side because I knew the travel day would be long. Nine at the bar took care of me with ease and friendly demeanor the bar offers full bar with wines, liquor and beer choices; I went with an easy mimosa for the meal. Amby the supervisor for the day was a friendly and kind for the morning offering a complimentary bread pudding and ice cream since I came with an eager appetite and asked questions she welcomed to be shared however possible. Everything was delicious! The morning for an 8am arrival was quiet- the staff all friendly and helpful, and I'm a few steps from my gate and a restroom. Bar side and lounge was kept clean and constantly checked for patrons coming to sit and join. Will visit here and try the Steak Burger for lunch next time I'm in town! Thanks so much for the meal!

Nachos- Canned kidney beans Canned Cheese sauce Stale chips A big pile of slop Seriously left the worst after taste in my mouth

Very good option for airport food. If it wasn't so expensive, definite 5 stars for the airport. Ordered the bourbon burger, fish and chips, and their bread pudding. We specifically requested the bourbon burger to be cut in half and they kindly fulfilled the request. The bourbon burger comes with fries or a salad. Of course, I chose fries. I should have just gotten a salad considering how much fries my bf got with his fish and chips. Fish and chips were $24 for a giant pile of fries and four pieces of fried alaskan cod. The fish was good, but I would've preferred waayy less fries at a lower total cost. We ended up wasting the fries T.T The bourbon burger came out warm/room temp, not hot. I like my food hot from the kitchen. Good, but also overpriced for what you get. The service was great. Checked up on us and refilled our water multiple times. The bread pudding was huge and well worth ordering to share.

This place is absolutely amazing. Had the Buffalo chicken sandwich! Very good sandwich, I will be coming back here! Michael, the manager show the best hospitality. Thank you so much for the great experience and the food thank you.

We just had a lovely meal at Bourbon Pub. It's my go to choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner in Concourse B which has a nice share of options to choose from. Tonight I was feeling decadent so I ordered had the Bourbon Burger. It was delicious. The bun was made in burger heaven and the hand-packed patty was ideal. To boot, the fries hit the spot with their flavor and crunch. The manager and Gladys are gems and made us feel at home. They even comped us their chocolate mouse with cinnamon sugar walnuts. This turned my 4.5 to a solid 5. I look forward to coming back in a few weeks.

Service here is horrible, the waitress does not pay attention to you. Otherwise decent place to grab a drink at the airport while waiting. Ambiance is decent.
