Here are six drive-in theaters where you can catch a movie or two this summer.

Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2021

Everything you need to know about drive-in theaters in Pittsburgh.

At the height of the drive-in craze, Pittsburgh was known as the “Drive-In Capital”. In 1950, there were over 40 drive-ins located in the Pittsburgh area.

While the drive-in has all but disappeared from most of our daily entertainment, Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas still have plenty of drive-thru movies.

Take a trip out of town and watch a new release or old favorite under the stars this season.

Allegheny County’s latest drive-in, the Moon Township Dependable Drive-In, saw a surge of visitors when most theaters were closed for COVID-19. With four operational screens showing 7 days a week, the weekend’s shows have sold out as viewers make their way to the big screen in their cars. This is in part due to the theater’s distancing policy, which requires participants to park further away from each other than usual.

Playing the new versions, Dependable Drive-In offers new dual features on every screen: arrive early to an optimal location and watch two movies, screened one after the other. Order from the dealership booth’s full menu and have snacks delivered right to the car on the drive-through’s new mobile app.
