What People Are Saying About Wish

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. – – – – –
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- A specialty cocktail--like the sugar-rimmed "77" with champagne and Chambord, or the tasty rum-based Black Apple--is worth the $8 price tag.
- Save Money:
- Happy-hour specials (weekdays, 5pm-8pm) include $3 wells, $2 beers and a $1 off specialty drinks.
- The Extras:
- Wish is available for private parties. Phone ahead for information.

Average bar, but way to narrow
by april20012000 at Citysearch
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

If you like a tiny packed, wall-to-wall crowded venue
by gaijinsan at Citysearch
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

Great on weekdays I assume
by adamm43 at Citysearch
This place gets PACKED on weekends. I liked it a lot because of the great music being spun. However, it reminds me of an LA bar with how packed it is. I love the vibe, the music and the drinks... just regulate the door a bit.
- Pros: Great atmosphere
- Cons: Too crowded on weekends

Perfect place to boogie or lounge.
by flunkylee at Citysearch
This place serves up some awesome cocktails as well some of the best dj's above ground. I love the atmosphere and the snug dance floor and although some aren't dancing but it always seems like they would like to be dancing.
This spot is great after work, Friday nights, or after dinner at Sushi Groove.
