Four Brothers Drive-in — Local services in Town of Amenia

I hate to leave a bad review for a local business, but we had a pretty unfortunate first experience that ruined the Barbie movie for us. The drive in area is a lot smaller than expected, and the parking attendant made us park in the very first row which I couldn’t believe it was allowed to park people that close to the screen. We planned to stay in our car but there was no way to see the whole screen and we had to crane our necks to look up at it. I think it would’ve helped to park the cars on little mounds like other drive ins so the cars are tilted up towards the screen. We asked the ticket booth right away if we could move our car but she said we had to stay there until the movie started and then get the parking attendant to see if there was an open spot to move to, but said it was a sold out show so we probably couldn’t move. I asked if we could just get a refund so we could leave and she said we couldn’t be refunded. I felt stuck at the drive in bc when we walked back to the car everyone had their chairs out and we were packed in so closely that we would have to ask the entire row to put their stuff away so we could get out.

We decided to sit on the grass on our sweatshirts in the row behind us but realized as the movie started that there were no outside speakers near us and we had to rely on the car radios around us, which were all playing the movie at different times, so delayed from each other that it warped the sound and we couldn’t really hear anything that happened in the movie. I just stared at the screen for two hours while everyone else was laughing and I tried to guess what they were saying that was funny.

Also we got on line for the 3 one person bathrooms, and the first one the toilet didn’t work so I had to get back on line, but when it was my turn again the second bathroom had no toilet paper so I had to wait to get some from the third bathroom. Overall it was a pretty uncomfortable night and we felt lost on what to do. I feel bad writing this review but maybe it can help things be improved for future experiences, because the idea of this place is great and if you aren’t front row everything is fine and everyone else seemed to have fun, but I think it would’ve been even better on a bigger piece of property with some more planning. And I think you should let people be refunded when the movie hasn’t...

Stayed at the Hotel Caravana the other night and the service, settings a food were outstanding! Thomas (one of the Four Brothers sons) welcomed us right away showing us the Caravan which is retro decorated with particularly placed showpieces within demonstrating the era perfectly. The queen sized bed was extremely comfortable and the Airstream has speakers inside and out with excellent audio. The deck had a table, chairs, lounge chairs and everything you could ask for while relaxing and watching a movie under the stars. The entire grounds is an homage to the classic old days of a true Drive-In movie experience.

Now onto the food: Four Brothers has a food Shack with the best burgers, fried pickles, corn dogs, shakes and fresh popcorn. The TJ burger had a wonderful bacon jam and the corn dog was well coated with a bit of salt on it and the hot dog inside was delicious, true classics. Four Brothers also boasts an Italian restaurant on the premises which you can eat in or take out. I had their small pizzetta which was not to be missed.

The service: The name says it all as Four Brothers is a family owned Greek establishment with sons and cousins working with true care of the place. I met John another son and cousin of Thomas and he could not be more gracious and welcoming letting us know to not hesitate if we needed anything as we had both of their cell phone numbers. The execution of their food was stellar as everything we ordered was delivered right to the Caravan. I need to mention their bartender in the restaurant made bespoke drinks that rivaled NYC. Turns out he was trained in Greece and a real craftsman. You must order a cocktail! The next day we met all the Four Brothers had coffee and talked with them and I could see they are a family of values and experts in customer service.

Once again I cannot say enough great things about Four Brothers Drive. I am already looking to book Hotel Caravana again this time bringing my 5yr. Old son as they are all about family and I know he’ll love...

Nestled in a picturesque setting, this spot delivers not just movies but an experience that feels like stepping back in time. Whether you're a fan of retro vibes or just looking for an affordable outing, this drive-in promises a memorable night out for the entire family.

Let’s start with the food—oh, the food! The menu is packed with surprises, and their Brothers Pizza Pie is truly to die for. It’s a perfect combination of delicious toppings on a crisp, flavorful crust that left me savoring every bite. Trust me, pizza lovers—this one won’t let you down. And if that’s not enough, their ice cream is equally incredible. Creamy, rich, and offering just the right amount of sweetness, it’s the perfect treat to enjoy during or after a movie. Who can resist a cold cone under the stars? Definitely not me!

The staff is another highlight of this venue. They’re friendly, professional, and create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the experience. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers, and their warmth makes everything feel just a little more special.

Of course, the drive-in is all about the movies, and Four Brothers doesn’t disappoint. The screen, audio quality, and overall setup make for a pretty flawless viewing experience, all while sitting in the comfort of your car (or lawn chair if you prefer!). Pair this with the retro aesthetic and you’ve got yourself a trip back in time that feels like pure magic.

All of this comes at an affordable price, which is rare these days—especially for an outing that goes above and beyond in terms of quality and experience. Whether you’re there for the food, ice cream, movies, or just to soak in the retro charm, Four Brothers Drive-In is an absolute win.

Highly recommend checking this out for date nights, family outings, or just a unique evening under the stars. This spot truly won’t...
