Weirs Beach Drive-In Theater

LOVE this place! Don’t let it go!!! A classic that deserves to survive.

This is a great way to spend a beautiful summer evening. Sure the picture quality is not 1080, but it’s not blurry either! The sound in my car was actually better than in the movie theatre (the effect of laying on a blanket in the back of our car made all the bass resonate). We were in the first row and no issues with other people misbehaving. Got there about an hour early and they started right on time. Popcorn and food were movie quality and much less expensive than typical. Lots of fun for the family!

We love drive ins so went here while staying near here. Boy what a disappointment. Now I know it’s old but really needs fixing up. Parking lot could definitely use some fixing/​paving, noticed on our way to concessions before the movie no lights to help with getting to the bathroom in the dark — thankfully didn’t have to go otherwise would have been taking my life in my hands trying to navigate the uneven pothole filled parking lot in the dark. Movie quality not good at all. While not overly expensive $ 25/​car isn’t a great deal. And to top it off the attendant would not let anyone park in the row in front of us closest to the screen BEFORE the movie as Made us and another car move close together to squeeze in a car on one side of us but then when it was dark and the movie started they had 4 cars/​trucks come and park directly in front of our row. Only go here if you are bored and looking for a way to kill some time.

I wouldn’t even give it 1 star. Employees are rude and have no customer service skills. Nor do they know how to communicate effectively. When I complained and asked for the owners information I was told they have a Facebook page. That’s not a professional way to handle a complaint.

The price was fair and I really like the drive in. However they need to update the place by paving or doing something with the road. Just update the screens a little bit.
They kept moving the movie so it was off the screen finally he figure it out. I forgot to bring bugspray.
The snack bar was decently price but everything is small. The drinks were very fair price. The bathroom was kinda creepy and disorganized.

If you like your movies far away, at an angle and blurry, this is your spot. 4k digital? No way. 1080p absolutely not. Try 240p. The projectors are over a hundred of feet away and just aren’t clear. The audio isn’t good either. The FM broadcast is nifty but it crackles during action sequences and no car stereo can match a theater’s audio system. The central bathrooms and concessions are dumpy and the $ 25 per car price isn’t much of a deal.

This is the first time I have gone to a Drive-​In since I was a kid. There is something definetly to be said for the feeling of nostalgia when pulling up to the screen and sitting in your car with your kids in their PJs with a bucket of popcorn. This Drive-​in is a little run down with some ratty looking screens and a poorly maintained lot. You tune your radio to a designated frequency to hear the movie, the concession stand has jumper cables just in case. Not the ideal way to watch a movie you have been waiting to see but an OK summer diversion.

My wife and I had a lackluster experience at the Weirs Drive-​In several years ago, but we thought we’d try it again and took our daughter to see Brave.
The ticketing and parking employees were very friendly, but we were never told what radio station to use. All the screens have a sign telling you what radio station to tune to, except for screen 1. After a little searching in the lower end of the dial we were able to find it.
We watched Brave with no problems, except for smokers in neighboring cars, so we had to wind up our windows every few minutes. However, at the very end of Brave, the projectionist cut the audio and changed the focus so that we were unable to watch the post-​credit scene.
We then moved our car to watch Prometheus. The film was in severely soft focus for the entire length, which baffles me because the projectionist stood in his doorway looking out at the screens the whole night. The sides of the film image hung off the screen (the P and S in the title PROMETHEUS were not even visible.) The lights from a neighboring parking lot were very distracting, and although we moved our car, we were unable to escape from the glare. As with Brave, the projectionist cut the audio immediately when the credits rolled, and then cut the projector before the credits had played out. I guess that he just wanted to go home.
The whole place is pretty run down. The snack counter was hot and dingy, and the older lady working there was not particularly friendly. The bathrooms are small and dirty. The screens have visible lines between the slats. Both movies were dark and flickery, as if the projector bulbs were failing. The audio seemed to be broadcast in stereo, and although clear and static-​free, was dull and lacking any sonic sparkle.
One might say the low admission price makes up for the inconveniences, but honestly I’d rather pay more for a nicer experience. I’d only go back if they were to improve their projection and audio broadcast facilities as well as their projectionist’s etiquette, but our previous experience tells us they aren’t interested.

3 screens = 6 movies to choose from.
Worth the money.

One of the best things to do in the area! You get to see two out of eight movies (two each on four different screens) for less than the price of one at an indoor theater.

This is a fun way to spend a summer night. For only $ 8.50/person — you get TWO movies in the comfort of your own vehicle — and you can bring your own snacks & beverages.
HINT: If you choose to sit in the back of a truck, be sure to bring bug spray & be sure your stereo is loud. (Bring a portable radio — just in case).
The only drawback is the snack shack is a bit sketchy & is priced typical of a movie theater.
Overall, a great experience — either for a date or as a group of people.

How could you not love it! $ 17 bucks for 2 new movies. There’s a concession stand and one downfall is the bathrooms are tiny, hot and gross.

Wow my 100^th review! This review will be for something many will never be able to experience while others never again. A Drive-​in movie! Once doting the American landscape, drive-​ins are a thing of the past. However seemingly still going strong is the Weir’s beach drive-​in. Quite a bit run down, clearly expanded from one screen to four it still seems to draw enough of a summer crowd to survive.
Much of the asphalt parking has long worn away. One of the back screens actually has a small road running in front of it that leads to several homes. Snack bar strangely built into a mound of earth had a surprisingly decent selection of food. Mosquitoes are a pain. The night we where here the club next door was having karaōke. We could here some dude singing dead or alive. I kept thinking I would have had a better time at the club. But if you have never been to a drive-​in & you get the opportunity. Do it.

My first drive in experience ever! Its tough to star this one. 5 stars for the drive in experience– I wish there was a drive in near where i live. Probably about 3 stars for how good of a drive in Weirs Beach is. The sound was great– the movie selection was better than most (meaning, they had options besides transformers and that drunken vegas night movie) and loved the double feature.
The downsides?
4 screens means no matter where you park, you are going to be distracted by at least one other movie showing in the corner of your eye (or 3 in my case).
the snack bar was kind of depressing and felt old but not nostalgic– just old, and nothing looked tempting
i would have loved a few more nostalgic touches like the option of a speaker for your car, one of those lil kids playgrounds you sometimes see, and an intermission cartoon or jingle.
Overall, none of those things are terribly important, just touches that would have made for a 5 star experience.

$ 17 for 2 Adults and 4 kids, what a bargain! I will admit, when first seeing the projection house/​bathrooms/​concession stand, I was nervous. All was well once going inside.
We only purchased the popcorn and cotton candy and both were fine. I looked and the burgers, chicken wings, pretzels, hot dogs and all appeared to be OK. At least they are cooking right in front of you, how many places still do that?
I had little contact with the help but the lady at the concession registers was extremely nice.
Being a germ-​a-​phobe I was scared going into the bathrooms, especially with my twin 4 yo girls. The floors were clean and even though the room is weird, it was in good enough shape for its age.
4 double features are available at dusk. Waiting from 7 when the box office opens until 8:45 when the movie started, the kids were able to play football and baseball.
For the price, this was good quality family time. I’ll be back.

Oh man, the drive-​in theaters are slowly dying off — but at Weirs Beach they have FOUR screens still going strong. Prices vary by age but for adults $ 8.50 per person in your car will get you access to a double feature (Up and Star Trek were my two) where you can sit in the comfort of your car and bring your own snacks. Where else can you find two movies for $ 8.50 a person?
As you might expect from a drive-​in, the concession food is more than a little suspicious and the bathrooms are a little frightening. Overall sitting back in your car, firing up the radio to the right frequency and relaxing makes for a pretty great movie experience.
