(32 reviews)
Nagoya Entertainment District, Batam

New Hollywood Disco is one of Nagoya's older entertainment venues, running a dance floor format aimed at the Indonesian local crowd and Singaporean visitors who prefer a more classic disco atmosphere. The setup is straightforward: a DJ booth, a central dance floor, bar seating along the walls, and waitress service. Dangdut and Indonesian pop mixes heavily into the EDM rotation, which distinguishes it from the more internationally-flavoured venues in the area.

Insider Tip

The crowd peaks after midnight. Arrive at 22:00 for a decent seat before the floor fills. Indonesian disco culture involves a lot of table ordering rather than bar lining, so sit down early and flag a waitress. The bottle service rates make group ordering more economical than individual drinks.

Full Review

New Hollywood Disco runs a classic Indonesian nightclub format: central dance floor, DJ booth, bar seating along the walls, and waitress service to the tables. The music distinguishes it from more internationally-flavored venues, with dangdut and Indonesian pop mixed heavily into the EDM rotation. The setting is straightforward, with functional lighting, a working sound system, and enough space for a full dance floor on busy nights.

The crowd is predominantly local Indonesian with a weekend supplement of Singaporean visitors. The energy builds after midnight when the dance floor fills and the DJ shifts into higher gear. Indonesian disco culture emphasizes table service over bar ordering, so sitting down early and flagging a waitress is the move rather than queuing at the bar. Bottle service rates make group ordering more economical.

Among Nagoya's nightlife options, New Hollywood offers more local character than the hotel clubs or the KTV venues. It's less polished but more honest about what it is: a dance venue for people who want to dance to Indonesian music in an Indonesian setting. The dangdut mixing is something visitors won't find at the more tourist-facing venues.

Arrive by 10 PM for a decent seat before the floor fills. Sit down and order through waitress service rather than going to the bar. Bottle service makes group economics better. The crowd peaks after midnight.
