The country's most retro-tastic drive-in theaters

The entrance may look retro, but the Coyote is actually a new drive-in theater. It’s got great local food, plenty of booze, and even hitching posts if you’re coming from the Ft. Worth stockyards. In Fort Worth, the drive-in theater is the hip place for young people once again.

Once on the main route between Chicago & Detroit, the Capri still draws a crowd of travelers and locals alike with excellently maintained facilities and one of the largest screen towers still in use. The classic 50s vibe is still alive and well at the Capri.

With six screens and a hilltop parking lot this drive-in isn’t just about the movies, it’s about the tailgating! Bring your grill, corn hole sets, and coolers for a drive-in experience like no other. We suggest hitting the place up over Labor Day weekend when they have live music, a car show, and crappy B-movies.

There are three things that make Bengies awesome: its 50s style snack bar, its ridiculously large screen, and its fantastic retro road sign. What’s not to love about that?

Four Brothers Drive-In is a little different in that it just recently opened, so it may not have been around for generations, but it's still worth checking out. They offer everything you would expect from a classic drive-in: double features of first run movies seven days a week during the spring through the fall (and sometimes even the occasional Thursday night triple feature!), and a playground and concession stand with classic snacks, but it's the details here that really count: the all-American, custom-made furniture, signs, and art, the art deco-inspired mural made by a beloved local artist, the Polaroid guest book, even the fact that they'll help you clean your windshield and deliver your snacks to you via carhop all make Four Brothers the kind of place you want to visit regularly.

But don't be fooled by the sexy, retro vibes... this place is tricked out with every modern convenience you could ever need. They have an app you can download that will keep you up-to-date on what movies they're showing each week, they're the only drive-in theater were you can charge up an electric vehicle while you watch movies, their projector is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment, and you can even order food from the snack shack online-- they make a conscious effort to serve homemade and locally-source standards, like ice cream and burgers, as well as modern favorites, like Greek yogurt! Basically, they combine the best parts of a classic drive-in with modern amenities and a passion for the experience... what's not to love?
