A nightlife district popular among single expats is Nagoya entertainment district, or just called NED, this compact district is bounded by the Melia Panorama, Goodway and Harmoni hotels. Lucy's Oarhouse is easiest to find, turn left out of the Melia’s front entrance and walk 100m. The famous PP Banana GoGo is upstairs. Rio Rita is over the road. Turn right out Lucy's front door and you can see the Jungle Bar, Classics, Red Cock, Bistro, Ice Pub and Steps Music Lounge. McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and several money changers are in the same area.
There are three places for you hanging out or exploring, before heading back for a good night's sleep :
1. Karaoke
There are literally hundreds of karaoke bars located in almost every direction of Nagoya. It is very popular with Chinese and Singaporean, so most of the songs are in Chinese with some well-known English songs. Beside a large karaoke hall, many of them also provide private rooms for a group of three-to-eight people or more, an option to avoid bad singers in the open lounge who seem to think they are competing on Pop Idol. Below is the list to sample:
- Merlion Hotel Location: Sriwijaya Road, Nagoya)
- Kompleks Cipta Utama Location: Near Center Point shopping centre
- And more….
2. Nightclubs
Nightclubs or discotheques here usually play alternate between techno music and some up-to-date pop. Some places also have live bands, playing English, Indonesian, Chinese, and Singaporean songs. The nightclubs here open from 19:00 onwards and all get busy around midnight and run until 05:00. No strict dress-code although flip-flops are not allowed for clubbers’ own safety. Below is the list of some famous clubs for all party animals:
- Ice Pub Location: Near Mandarin Regency Hotel
- Jungle Diskotik Location: Komp. Batam Plaza
- And more….
3. Massage Parlours
There are many massage centers that are reputable establishments that offer a professional massage service. Then again there are plenty of the dodgy massage parlours that will give you a massage and depending on the girl, will offer you that happy ending you may want. There are several massage parlors in the bar district behind Harmoni Hotel which do offer the cheaper massage service like this. An hour massage can be as low as 75,000Rp ( about US$8) though the girls will generally ask for another 200,000Rp (about US$22) for the happy ending or some call it a sensual massage and with most things in Indonesia a bit of bargaining can bring the price down. Below is the list of some famous massage parlours in Batam :
- Rank 1 Sport Massage Location: Near Goodway Hotel

- Rank 3 Puri Garden Massage Location: Puri Garden Hotel
