Reimagined Rooftop Cinema Club Opens Soon — with the Largest Drive-In Screen in Town!

Reimagined Rooftop Cinema Club Opens Soon — with the Largest Drive-In Screen in Town!

EVEN BEFORE THE pandemic took hold, the good ol' fashioned drive-in movie was starting to make a comeback. Rooftop Cinema Club launched in Houston in 2018, and has since reimagined its open-air, rooftop-movie-viewing experience as a drive-in, located in Houston's East End.

Rooftop Cinema Club remodeled and renamed its venue, now known as The Drive-In off Navigation. It celebrates its grand opening on Jan. 21, when Houston's largest drive-in screen will be unveiled during showings of Jurassic Park (7:30pm) and Anchorman (10:30pm).

Up to 200 cars can park and enjoy an outdoor movie and views of the Downtown skyline — along with menu items from food trucks like Kurbside Eatz and Sizzles HTX. Contactless order and pick-up is available. Tickets range from $22-36 per vehicle, and parking spots are first-come, first-serve. Expect monthly Community Screenings that cost just $5-10 per car, with proceeds benefiting local nonprofit The Beacon.

Not far from The Drive-In off Navigation is the Moonstruck Drive-In Cinema at East River, which opened in the fall at Midway's new 150-acre development just one mile east of Downtown. Here, flicks are projected onto 40-by-80-foot structures made of shipping containers; Moonstruck also offers spots for up to 200 cars nightly, priced at $25 each.

Notably, the Moonstruck Drive-In Cinema is a collaboration between the owners of Blue Moon Cinemas — which pops up all across Texas with inflatable movie screens at parks, birthday parties and more — and the Showboat Drive-In, the largest and the only permanent drive-in theater in the region.

Chef-owner Austin Waiter of The Marigold Club, now serving fried chicken and Champagne on Sunday nights.


IF YOUR SUNDAY nights could use a little sparkle—and a lot of fried chicken—The Marigold Club has just the thing. Starting May 25 at 5pm, the Montrose hotspot known for its playful mix of Southern charm and London polish is rolling out a new weekly tradition: Fried Chicken & Champagne Sundays.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.
