Found 158

About

Found 158, often called 'The Magpie,' is Shanghai’s premier underground nightlife destination. Built into a sunken courtyard below a public park, it houses a dense concentration of international restaurants, craft beer bars, and world-famous nightclubs. Historically, it replaced the old 'Yongkang Road' bar street. The sensory experience is electric, especially after 10:00 PM, with music from various venues blending into a cosmopolitan roar. It’s the heart of the expat and trendy local social scene. Expert recommendation: Start with dinner at one of the upscale diners like Nomad, then move to a club like 158's legendary jazz or techno spots. Pro Tip: It can get rowdy on Friday and Saturday nights; if you prefer a quieter drink, arrive for happy hour around 6:00 PM. Access is via several staircases leading down from the park level on Julu Road.
