As of February 28th 2019, The One Bar is definitely closed.
If you are in Tokyo, after a long day visiting or chasing that last piece of rare Merch to complete your collection, you will be looking for a place to sit down and have a nice drink.
To keep the BABYMETAL theme alive, you can go to the original BABYMETAL Bar in Tokyo, The One.
The One is located in AKASAKA, just a stone's throw from AKASAKA Blitz where the Legend D Su-Metal Seitansai was held on December 20th 2012.
You can see the area is important in BABYMETAL's history.
To get there, you can use the 2 closest Metro stations, Akasaka or Akasaka-Mitsuke just minutes away. There are other stations nearby if walking a little is ok for you.
Google Map will guide you from your station of choice to the bar.

While walking, you'll have to look up or you'll miss it. As it's common in Japan, The One is upstairs. So it's quite easy to walk past without even noticing it.
Look up or you miss it.
Once there, you'll realize it's rather small, but it has everything a BABYMETAL Fan needs to spend a wonderful night out.
First, the owner Archie, hard at work....
You will have lots to eat and drink plus a large TV to enjoy BABYMETAL DVDs / Blurays.. Also the Bar is equipped with Karaoke, so you can try your best Su-Metal impression.
Most walls are showing BABYMETAL Memorabilia from concerts and other events.
On a good night, the other customers will welcome you warmly.
Group photo, I started the evening with only 2 fans present... then others arrived.
And if you are lucky, you'll be given a few items....
Tower Records style Sticker, Replica driver's license.
So, if you are a huge BABYMETAL Fan visiting Tokyo and you don't know what to do in the evening, go to The One and you'll have a great time. So great you might like me miss the last train..
P.S. Be careful with the Plum Wine, very good, very easy to drink but there are consequences.... ;)
P.S. 2 : If you like Nogizaka 46, be aware Archie is also a huge fan.
