If it's your first time heading out in Jing'an, Found 158 can feel like a secret hiding in plain sight. From street level it's an ordinary plaza, but step down into the sunken courtyard and you'll find a ring of bars and clubs stacked around an open-air heart. INS is the loudest room in the building.

Getting there

Found 158 sits on Julu Road in Jing'an, central Shanghai. It's an easy taxi or Didi ride from most of the city, and walkable from the surrounding nightlife district. Tell your driver "Found 158, Julu Road" and you'll be dropped right at the steps.

When to arrive

Doors open at 10pm, but the rooms really fill from midnight onward. If you've booked a table, you can arrive on your own schedule and walk straight in, and your spot is held regardless of the queue.

The plaza wakes up late. Come after midnight and you'll catch it at full volume.

Where INS fits in

Among the venues at Found 158, INS is the big-room destination, with lasers, a wall of sound and a crowd that came to dance. Start your night with a drink in the courtyard, then come find us when you're ready to turn it up.

Make INS your home base

Reserve a table and we'll have everything ready when you arrive.
