Where Davie goes out: the rodeo arena, two campus theaters, free town concerts, a beer garden and late bars on Davie Road and University Drive.
Last checked Oct. 8, 2026. Every venue links to its own site, and hours are as each venue publishes them; they change, so check before you go. We list venues, not individual gigs; for this weekend’s shows, see things to do this weekend.
Davie’s nightlife is spread across town, not packed into one strip. The big nights are at the rodeo arena downtown and the two campus theaters, Bailey Hall at Broward College and the Miniaci Performing Arts Center at Nova Southeastern University. Between those, the town runs a free outdoor concert series in spring, and bars along Davie Road, University Drive and State Road 84 fill the rest of the week, two of them open into the small hours.
Good to know
