The Five Points Theatre was an early cinema, located at 1912 11th Avenue South. It operated between 1921 and 1958.
Novelist Walker Percy (The Moviegoer) recalled that the first film he watched was a "Krazy Kat" cartoon at the Five Points Theater.
The green and white glass facade is still visible above the expanded dining area of Surin West restaurant. Other occupants of the space have included Taco Mac and Melons Restaurant.
