F1 Club and Planet 1 Disco (Batam)

F1 Club & KTV is my favorite nightclub in Batam. It is located on the basement of Planet Holiday, one of the largest and most famous hotels on the island. In the same building, you also have Planet 1, a head-shaking techno disco similar to Newton, a billiard center and a big karaoke.

F1 is built in a L shape with a bar occupying the whole left side. In the middle, you have a stage for live bands to perform and sofas just in front. It is not so big so you should make a table booking if you plan to visit on a weekend night (during the week it is much more quiet). They have a live band every night until 2am (Top 40 and Indonesian songs), followed by a DJ playing party anthems/EDM until 5am. There are quite many girls, most of which I believe are working in the karaoke. There might be a few normal ones as well. I also saw at least 2 ladyboys.

No entrance fee. A whisky coke cost Rp112,000.

The official owner of the Planet group is a man named Karto. According to credible sources though, the owner of Pakuwon group (behind Tunjungan Plaza in Surabaya, but also Top 10 Coyote and Station Club) may be another major shareholder. It wouldn't be surprising at all.
