EC (Executive Club) is a chain of karaoke from the Varuna Group with locations in Semarang, Yogyakarta, Bali (Denpasar), Pekalongan and Cilacap. In each of these cities, it is considered high-end with some of the prettiest LCs (Lady Companions) in town. I visited the branch in Semarang, which is a bit hard to find on the last floor of Java Mall. You have to access it from the parking area (no lift at night).
Entertainment Plaza or E-Plaza or EP is one of the best venues for nightlife in Semarang. It is modern and exclusive, similar to Babyface and Liquid . E-Plaza is a one-stop entertainment complex with several outlets: a live music lounge/nightclub, a karaoke called 7KTV, a cinema and a restaurant. It is conveniently located on Simpang Lima, in the city center, and all taxis will know how to take you there. Beware the entrance is a bit dodgy.
X Point is a nightclub and karaoke located in the North of Semarang, next to Live Spa . They have a small lounge with live music or DJ playing techno. The girls are quite pretty (all of them are working there). It is dark and loud but friendly, especially if you are a foreigner as they are quite rare.
Babyface is one of the best nightclubs in Semarang at the moment (with E-Lounge and Liquid). It is in a complex that includes a karaoke and Relique Spa. The club has a capacity of approximately 200-300 pax and it will normally be full on weekends. They have live bands or DJs playing anything that gets people moving. Mostly you will hear EDM, hip-hop and remixes of Top 40 hits. They often have visiting DJs, bands, singers, models and sexy dancers from Jakarta.
Eleven is a spa and karaoke located 10 minutes from the Semarang airport and 15-20 minutes from the city center. It is next to Babyface club and Relique Spa, the most famous one-stop entertainment complex in the city. Eleven Karaoke One of the most luxurious karaoke in Semarang with Babyface, EC, E-Plaza, Royal and Zephyr. They have over 60 high-class lady companions that cost from Rp500,000 up to Rp1,200,000 for 3 hours of singing/drinking with you. You can stay in the lounge to meet one or ask directly to a GRO for what you are looking for. They have 11 different rooms with the following capacity and prices:
Royal is a karaoke located in Semarang in the North of Poncol train station. It is a bit dodgy around this area but the karaoke itself is self and clean. It is also very affordable: Currently you can get a room with 2 bottles of Jack Daniels for Rp1,500,000.
Virgo is a karaoke plus plus in Semarang. I didn't go inside but I discussed with the security (while on my way to nearby Sakapatat ) who told me it was a karaoke with girls/LCs. A quick research on internet taught me that it is one of the best and most expensive karaokes in Semarang.
V5 is a karaoke and lounge that replaced Shark about a year ago. It is located near the Executive Spa Emporium and the luxury EC Karaoke. They have a small dark lounge with super loud music and no customers at all. It had an underground vibe and I wouldn't be surprised people come here high on drugs.
