This place can be quite tricky to find compared to the other venues listed. Onzieme is however located in the same area as the rest, Shinasaibashi/Namba. Just keep in mind that the venue itself is in a building on the 11th floor and therefore is not easily spotted. But if you check the directions on their website before leaving you will be fine.
