I'll give you some helping hand;
Booking joints
There is a big booking joint right across the road from Da Vienna called Permata Indah. It's about 5mins walk away; you will need a taxi for the rest of the booking joints as they are at least 15mins away from u
Places to hangout/get shitfaced
Kampung Bule - a small enclave of pubs and drinking holes.
Pacific Disco - big disco in Pacific Hotel with plenty of freelancers
Titanium Club - Moderately upscale disco/club
Newton Disco - Another disco/club with freelancers
Noname Pub - Nice midsize pub with live band in Harmoni hotel
I'll let the others chip in with other suggestions..
For clean massages, I (and many others) swear by this chain of massage places called Sport Massage; they have 5-6 outlets in Batam. The most prominent one is located opposite Harmoni Hotel. 250k rupiah for 2 solid hours of massage. You can thank me later for this place.. Haha
