Dutchess County’s Four Brothers Pizza Inn has ventured into the world of entertainment, opening the Amenia Drive-in Theatre to provide good food and family entertainment in one place. Four Brothers is the country’s only restaurant to operate a drive-in theater next door, allowing for the full experience of dinner and a movie in an outdoor setting.  

The scene includes radios for the dining tables, space for lawn chairs and such pet-friendly features as dog treats at the ticket booth, walking paths around the property and a doggie park area. In addition to the complete Four Brothers restaurant menu, the Amenia Drive-in has its own snack bar, offering freshly made popcorn with real butter. Coming soon are custom made pizzas, delivered directly moviegoers’ cars.            

The area also features a terrace, garden and well-kept grounds to stroll. Admission is $7 a person, and children under 10 are admitted for free when accompanied by an adult.

The films will continue through the winter as weather permits, and planners intend to organize them around such themes as date night, family night and comedy night.  

The Amenia Drive-in Theatre is located at 4957 Rte. 22 in Amenia, NY, adjacent to the Four Brothers Pizza Inn at the intersection of routes 22 & 44. For more information, call 845.373.8178 or visit AmeniaDriveIn.com.
