Fun Facts About ABC's 'Nashville' -- the 5 Spot - Yahoo! Voices  The 5 Spot is a trendy live music venue and bar located on Forrest Ave near Five Points in the East Nashville community.

Indeed, stopping at the mini mart at Five Points right around the corner from the 5 Spot to ask directions produced puzzled looks from the store clerk and the local man in overalls who was shopping.
