One of the local treasures in Rabun County is the Tiger Drive-In movie theatre. Nestled between Lake Burton and Lake Rabun, the Tiger Drive-In is open from April through November each featuring first-run movies and a full dinner menu with awesome food. Bring the family (including pets), let the kids play on the playground, sit outside in yard chairs on the grass terraces (they use FM broadcast with our outdoor speakers) and enjoy two movies for the price of one.
Originally opened in 1954, the Tiger Drive-In went dark in the 1980s with the proliferation of cable TV and video rental stores. It reopened in 2004 introducing a cherished experience to an entire new generation of movie fans.
“At the Tiger Drive-In we are bridging the gap between our classic past and a bright future,” says owner Tom Major. “There used to be over 5,500 drive-in theaters worldwide and now we are one of only 349 left . . . providing you a unique place to make memories that you simply can’t find anymore.”
Experience the movies from your car like the “old days” or set out picnic chairs on the grass terraces but now with the benefits of Tiger’s modern amenities including high-quality digital projection, FM broadcasts, outdoor speakers, Pandora pre-show music, Wi-Fi, and the delicious TDI Grill featuring an extensive menu with hot dogs, burgers, wings, pizza, popcorn, ice cream, candy and much more.
The Tiger Drive-In has made the experience even more unique and now it doubles as a campground for tents and RVs offering showers, bathrooms and now three unique 1960s vintage campers for rental on Airbnb. Each camper is specially themed and equipped with queen or full beds, heating and air conditioning, linens, refrigerator, coffee maker and a private deck for viewing movies. A few short steps away are a shower, bathrooms, playground, and the BBQ grill.
The Tiger Drive-In offers a variety of customized events including birthday parties, anniversaries, scout campouts, family reunions, employee appreciations nights and more that are sure to make your next gathering one to remember. They want to be a part of your next event whether there are five of you or 500. Email Tom@Tigerdrivein.com and let him help create your special event.
So bring your picnic blanket or cozy up in your car. The Tiger Drive-In is here waiting on you!
