About The Bourbon Drive-In

One of Kentucky's oldest continuously operating drive-ins, the Bourbon Drive-In opened in July 1956 and has remained family-owned and operated ever since. Located about 20 miles northeast of Lexington in the rolling horse-farm country of Bourbon County, it shows first-run double features on weekends from spring through fall with audio on 88.3 FM. The theater's rural setting and old-school charm make it a beloved regional institution.
