The 5 Spot Motown Mondays and local music nights

The 5 Spot is an East Nashville bar and music venue known for its weekly themed nights-most famously Motown Mondays-a long-running dance night that draws regular local crowds. The venue also hosts local bands and DJ sets in an intimate room that emphasizes community and regulars over tourist programming. It has operated at the same Forrest Avenue location since the mid-2000s and is frequently cited in local coverage as a neighborhood live-music staple.
