How well do you know your Five Points bars?

By day Five Points is busy with lunch-goers and shoppers, but by night it takes on a different vibe. The streets of this popular neighborhood district come alive with music, bar crawls, dance parties, Snapchat moments, late night meals and blurry Uber rides home.

Five Points has been a tradition for college students for generations.

“There’s a rich history between students and Five Points,” said Amy Beth Franks, executive director at Five Points Association. “They grow up hearing stories from their parents who went to Five Points when they were in school, so there’s something really organic about students going to Five Points and we love having them. There’s a youthfulness and sense of vitality that the students add and it vibes really well with everything we have going on here.”
