Here in Nashville, we’ve seen our restaurant and movie industry boom as folks have flocked to Music City in search of a good meal and a fun spot to catch a movie on date night. Whether you’re a fan of the Belcourt or the Regal just around the street, it’s not hard to pull “dinner and a movie” out of your back pocket. But what if you could switch up the whole experience with a drive-in movie? Yep, it’s real – and just a short drive from the city.
The Stardust Drive-In Theater is located in Watertown, Tennessee, roughly forty-five minutes or so from the dead center of downtown. Yes, it's a bit of a drive, but we're sure you'll find the trek is more than worth it.
The Stardust is the closest theater to Nashville, making it a popular spot for couples and families with bustling gaggles of kids vying for a fun summertime night.
