Pre-Napa stop: this is the airport outpost of Yountville’s Mustards
Mustards Bar & Grill sits in SFO’s International Terminal, past security, and draws Wine Country fans who recognize the name from Highway 29. It’s a full-service spot with table seating, a bar, and prices firmly in the $$$$ tier, so think entrée-level spend in the high $20s to $40s before drinks.
The menu leans similar to the original Mustards in Yountville, with American bistro and Wine Country staples rather than quick-grab airport fare. Expect things like a serious burger, grilled meats, hearty salads, and seasonal sides instead of fast-casual bowls. It carries cocktails and a wine list that nods to Napa labels, making it one of the few places in the terminal where a glass of decent Cabernet actually fits the setting.
Service pace lines up more with a real restaurant than a gate bar, so budget 45–60 minutes if you want a starter, main, and drink without clock-watching. It pairs best with international departures out of the International Terminal, since walking from Terminals 1, 2, or 3 adds another 10–15 minutes if you’re strolling from a far domestic gate.
Rating sits around 4 stars online, helped by people who already like the Yountville original and just want a familiar plate before or after a Napa weekend. The downside of that loyalty: prices feel steep compared with other SFO options like Gott’s or Yankee Pier, especially if you’re ordering wine by the glass in the $16–$22 range.
Tip: If your flight boards from the International G gates, grab a bar seat at Mustards, order one main and one glass of wine, and ask for the check when the food drops so you can be back at the gate 30 minutes before boarding.
