Editorial Review for WISH – by Erika Stalder
In Short
Mirrors above the bar and window-lined walls keep this hallway of a space from feeling cramped. Lots of bench seating and cocktail tables let the after-work crowd relax. It's all about drinking and looking fine here. The lounge offers extended happy-hour specials and DJ-fueled background beats for unpretentious nine-to-fivers. In the later hours, it hosts an ever-changing lineup of high-energy parties for the fashion forward.

I can understand why some people like it. We stopped by after visiting Loft 11, don't bother. Wish is nothing bad, nice crowd, but gets easily packed, due to size. The bar takes up most of the place and the music is way loud. Theres no dance floor and its a bar folks. Anyway, my only problem is the how narrow the place is.
Pros: nice crowd
Cons: to narrow, easily gets packed, due to size

then this is your place. the drinks were ok but my biggest gripe is the size of the bar. i went to anu bar on 6th a couple weeks ago and even though that venue is considered small, wish is like half the size with NO dance area. and along with the size of the venue it was so packed my friends and i had tons of difficulty navigating the narrow walkway (getting bumped into and spilling drinks or having it spilled on us as we went). the dance music was decent but very average for s.f. it wasn't until a guest dj from the internationally known "dirtybirds" showed up that the music got MUCH better. unfortunately, the scenesters & amateurs had no clue about the music and the crowd began to thin out. so, other than the occasional guest dj's that may be dj'ing, there isn't any real reason to go to wish again.
Pros: occasional guest dj's
Cons: TOO small and packed, so-so music most of the time, scenesters
