Brazos Drive-In

  • Address: 1800 W Pearl St, Granbury, TX 
  • Showtimes: Single Feature, Thurs - Sat. (Typically Closed in the Winter Months)
  • Distance from Us: 5.9 miles


For over half a century, Brazos Drive-In has been entertaining the families in our community. One of the last drive-in theaters in all of Texas, Brazos offers a fun glimpse of the past while watching modern releases, all at affordable prices.


A major perk of going to Brazos is their concession stand, where they serve typical movie snacks such as popcorn, soda and candy, as well as fresh hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream and more! Since the survival of the drive-in movie theater largely depends on concession sales, supporting the stand is a great way of supporting this historical landmark.


Please note that the theater only accepts cash for admission.
