A new gallery, a good dinner & a show
Build a Coral Springs evening around three different pleasures: discovering art, sharing a meal and settling into a live performance. This route works especially well when you want a complete night planned before leaving home.
Your time, together.
4:30 p.m. · 60 minutes
Visit the downtown Coral Springs Museum of Art gallery
Go to the new gallery at 3380 N. University Drive, on the ground floor of the Modera building. Admission is free. Choose one work to describe to each other before reading its label. The gallery location is separate from the creative studios and theater.

Have dinner at Big Bear Brewing Company
Head to 1800 N. University Drive for American-grill dishes and time to talk. Choose drinks that suit you; enjoying the brewpub setting does not require ordering alcohol. Check the menu and reservation options first.

The details that make it easy.
- Book first
- Buy the show tickets first, then reserve dinner. The gallery is closed Sundays and nationally observed holidays; Monday visits require an appointment.
- Budget for two
- Gallery admission is free. Add two performance tickets and fees, your restaurant bill, tax, gratuity and transport. Compare the final seat price before booking the rest of the evening.
- Getting around
- Plan short drives or rideshares between stops. The museum validates parking in the Modera ground-level lot, and City Hall also has a free garage. Confirm theater parking instructions on the event page.
- Weather & comfort
- All three main stops are indoors. Carry an umbrella for the parking walks; allow extra driving time during heavy rain.
- If plans change
- If your show sells out, make the gallery and dinner a two-stop date or choose a different published performance. Do not confuse the museum gallery at University Drive with its studios at Coral Springs Drive.
