5 Memorable Drive-In Movie Theaters in Austin

Mueller

The first and only mini urban boutique drive-in movie theater is located in Austin, Texas. How lucky are we? Blue Starlite paved the way for a new drive-in resurgence across the country, and we are all so thankful for it! Because they only take 15-30 cars a night, Blue Starlite requires less space and is more exclusive, more personal, more intimate, and closer to home!

Blue Starlite concentrates on indie films, art house, cult, Gen X/Y, childhood favorites, and drive-in classics, meaning there is something for everyone to enjoy watching. Plus, the Mueller location is so convenient and near great places to eat and explore!

Round Rock

Another Blue Starlite location is in Round Rock, for all our Austinites a bit further north! This new location offers all the features of the Mueller original, making it equally as incredible and definitely worth the visit.

One aspect of the Round Rock location that differs from the two in Austin is that Round Rock has 40 car slots instead of 15-30. Don’t worry, though: while it is slightly bigger, you still get the intimate, personal, one of a kind drive-in experience!

Down Town

The final Blue Starlite location just opened August 27 and is Downtown! This rooftop drive-in theater is perfect for date night or hanging out with a group of friends, as you get a gorgeous view of the Austin skyline behind the movie.

Plus, this location features musical performances like upcoming Austin Opera at the Drive-in, Downtown Austin Alliance Nights, and Jerry Jeff tribute. Blue Starlite pegs itself as the drive-in movie theater for the modern age, and we couldn’t agree more!
