    Great beer1
    Mary R.

    I visited the 5 Spot the other night on a recommendation from a friend. The music there was a Waymores reunion concert. I had never heard of them but one of the musicians introduced himself to me out of the blue which was very nice-- thank you, Don Henry. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the harmonies, the playing, and the song writing. One thing that the Five Spot has in spades is an a-mazing sound system. I have not heard music so well in many years. The crowd here was older and friendly and the beer assortment was delicious. My only complaint is that if you want food the bartender can make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Did I order it? Yes I did and it was good. Thank you, 5 Spot of Nashville, Tennessee, for expanding my musical horizons, for the excellent music, and for your godly sound system.

    Live music venue!

    $2 Tuesdays yass! A featured band plays in this intimate location. In and outdoor seating. Food truck in back. Other special featured musical nights. The 2 window fridge filled with a happy collection of ciders and beers, in addition to the taps and hards.

    Tiger Beats. These guys can lay it down.

    I love this little dive bar. Small, friendly crowds. Seen a couple really cool bands like Tim Carroll trio, and the Tiger Beats. The french fries here are so good I get them every time. Just a great spot where you can go see a band at 6pm, and be home before it gets dark. Super easy to get to, and parking is not hard to find.

    This is an amazing bar, a big patio for future to breath, great bar service, responsibly checking vaccine status. Also, Crocodyle is awesome, they really ignited the night. Looking forward to coming back

    Popped in for Sunday Night Soul and was not disappointed. The band was amazing! Next time I'm in Nashville, I'll definitely be returning.

    Ask the Community - The 5 Spot

    Is this a good club for a 50ish couple to drink, dance and enjoy a Saturday night out?

    Depends on the band scheduled for the night. I'm mid 40s and the music was way too loud and alternative for me and my group. Drinks were cheap, but that was the only good thing about it.

    My friends and I headed down after dinner for Motown Monday looking for some fun to get into.

    One of my favorite clubs in Nashville. The only place that doesn't play country music which I love…read more I love when they play hip hop & top 40's. You can check out the calendar to see what they're playing for the night, the ambiance in there is great-definitely a mix of LA & New York. It's a mix crowd which I love. The manager & all the staff there are very welcoming, I normally reserve a table there when I go & the prices are very reasonable.

    Nashville's lounge revolution continues. We've gotten Nashville's take on Brooklyn, LA and Vegas…read more the back corner is very Miami Beach. When I walked in I, immediately, thought of Haven (RIP https://www.yelp.com/biz/haven-miami-beach-2). From the LED wall to the music to the drinks to the vibe... I didn't feel like I was in Nashville anymore. the back corner stands out and gives Middle Tennesseans something that's not readily available in this area. If you're in the mood for a little coastal cosmopolitanness (is that word? It's not a word), the back corner is about to be your new favorite place. The neighborhood gets things moving in the right direction. For as much as Germantown has (scenic streets, fancy high rises, coffee, good eats) it didn't have a nightlife destination. Putting one here makes a lot of sense. Building off the 5th & Taylor imprint, the back corner starts off fancy (but not pretentious) and builds to memorable. Upon entry, the first thing you notice is the LED wall and stage. With a changing display of electronic intoxication, you're drawn into a world far away from Lower Broad. If you can break your gaze away from the stage, you'll notice the upper and lower lounge seating. Intimate, cozy and a bit mysterious, the seating at the back corner lets you decide whether you want to be front & center or if you're rather sit back and take it all in. You can be as public or private as you'd like. If indoor seating isn't your thing, make your way outside to enjoy the fire pit and Germantown night sky. Just do us all a favor and refrain from smoking. Seeing cigarette butts along the patio or by (in??) the fire pit is not sexy and very off-brand. All the above said and noted, the back corner is not a huge space -- which is a plus and minus. It's a plus because it never becomes the cavernous mess of bass and desperation. The minus is crowds gonna crowd and with a lot of people, the space will be tight. I don't know how to fix that. I suppose a velvet rope and waitlist will keep crowds at bay but neither feels very Nashville. Hmm... Another minus (relating to the size) is that there's only one bar. One bar in a space this cool is a bit tight. I know the space behind the bar isn't huge but I would staff it with 3 bartenders at a time so as to keep up with the crowd. Because you're going to want to drink. A lot. The cocktail program at the back corner is a bit unusual for Nashville -- and very Miami. Expect rum, colors and a boozy punch. Actually, the menu could use a punch. Get on that, tbc. Re drink progression... start with the gimlet. It's pretty to look at and refreshing to drink. All the mixers, juices, etc. are made in house so you're getting quality fare. From there, hit the No. 4 and, then, the No. 2. If you're still upright, drink some water. Water? Who am I kidding? Cocktails! You're in Miami, [redacted]! Well, sorta. If you need some noshes, 5th & Taylor is serving up bites. Don't come here for dinner. Who eats food? Let the music and booze nourish your body. As perfect as the back corner is for DJ sets, live music (this *is* Nashville, after all) works as well. the back corner isn't the Downtown dance club people have wanted for a (looooong) while. But it is a welcome addition to the city's nightlife scene and, very possibly, you're new favorite place to go. Bienvenidos a Nashville.

She was…read morevery tentative, and remembered what I wanted from emailing the day before, and she was so sweet. The whole team was trying to cheer me on. It was great. I was there when they were first opening up, but they had good music playing over the speakers, and a band was setting up as I was leaving. I 100% would recommend this place to anyone.

    Star Rover Sound doing something really fun in Germantown. It's a dinner and live music concept…read moretucked into a smaller, more intimate setting. Think cozy venue feel with a western motif. It's the kind of place that gives you something a little different from your usual Nashville night out. We went on a Saturday and I ordered the filet. Every steak comes with the full spread: Salad, bread, and fries/onion rings. Great value for what you pay. The steak was cooked and seasoned well, the salad featured a standout buttermilk dill dressing that I really loved, unlimited rolls with that perfect touch of sweetness and salt, and a huge basket that's half onion rings, half fries. I was stuffed! The fries deserve a special mention. Thicker cut with an incredibly crispy exterior, almost like a potato skin in fry form. For drinks, I ordered their Filthy Martini and they let me call my gin of choice. Gin drinkers, you'll appreciate that. It was well crafted and exactly what I wanted. A few practical things worth knowing before you go. There is a $10 charge added to your bill that goes directly to the band, which I think is completely reasonable especially given the meal you're also getting. Parking is not validated or covered so plan accordingly. The band playing when we visited Saturday around 7:30 wasn't the most memorable I've heard in Nashville, but the lineup rotates so your experience may vary. Either way, having live music as the backdrop while you eat adds a really nice energy to the evening. Overall a worthwhile and unique addition to the Nashville dining scene.
