Every time we come here something is wrong. Last time we came up here and the screen wouldn't work,…read moreso we spent 2 hours up here and had to get a rain check because it was never fixed. We asked about refunds for concessions, since we spent $45 and were snapped at by the manager saying "you still ate your snack why would we refund that?" Thats fine, things happen. We weren't mad. This time we spent over $100 on tickets and concessions for 2 adults and 2 kids, and they are OUT OF FREAKING ICE!!!!!!! Manager couldn't care less. Once we got into the actual theater, it was doing the same thing it did last time the screen wouldn't work. You can hear the ads and commercials, but nothing is on the screen. My husband went out and told the manager (which was also the manger that had to issue our rain checks last time) that the screen wasn't working, and she snapped at him and said "it will be fixed by the time the movie is on." My husband said "okay well last time we were here, it wasn't fixed, and we spent 2 hours here for nothing." she said "oh well I don't remember that." Manager has been the absolute rudest human on the planet both times we have had encounters with her. I'm also attaching some videos of the absolute disgusting area around the drinks and walking to the theater. Workers just standing behind the counter that could have easily went out and cleaned up a little. We will be taking our business to NCG theaters in Kingsport from now on. Cleaner, cheaper and 100% better customer service.

I also loved that they have the speakers still that you can hang on your window - the last couple drive-ins I've been to had removed them so it was exciting as I love them for nostalgia purposes as well as prefer using them over tuning in in the car. Overall I do plan to be back! Even between buying a couple snacks and the ticket the cost was less than half of what I last spent at the movie theater. Great for a personal night out to unwind or an easy and cheap trip out with the family

Great screen, classic movie refreshments, or BYO snacks and drinks, plus you don't have to hear every wanker that wants to rummage through his popcorn box, crinkle wrappers, and slurp his drink! That right there makes it worth the trip. It's fun fora date night, a group outing, or just to enjoy a movie without all the problems inherent in a movie theater. I love it!

4,200th Review I…read moremade it to Bristol Motor Speedway, not for a NASCAR or Infinity Race but for a self-guided tour only a few days before the start of the night racing events. The car haulers were lined up and the driver and team buses were starting to fill their parking areas as the speedway crews and vendors were pushing to get this place race ready. While traveling across I-81 I noticed a sign showing the exit for the speedway, thinking I'd do a short detour and do a drive by to a snap a few pictures from the road I had no idea that I've have an opportunity to get a little more up close and personal. After arriving at the speedway I noticed the entrance road was open so I pulled in and followed the orange cones to the front of the speedway going around a few car haulers and vendor trucks. I was happy to get this far without any questions so I pulled into a parking space a few feet from the main gate and got out to take a few photos before getting back on the highway. That when things changed and by happenstance a crew setting up trash dispensers and port-a-potties pulled along side me and one of the crew stopped and commented on my truck and asked a few questions about some of the accessories I had installed being he also recently purchased a new Maverick - we chatted for a few minutes and I explained that we were traveling through the area and stopped by to see the speedway, he asked if we had went through the gates and got a closer look which we had not. This guy wasn't just a worker he had the credentials and told me he had been working here for more than 13 years and told me I could enter the gate and do a self guided tour of the entire facility. A little stunned at the invitation I got his name and thanked him and walked to the only open gate. Although there was some activities going on with the staff and vendors we walked into this mostly empty giant facility unaccompanied with total access to explore the track and what a view it was once we walked out to the seating area directly in the middle of the front stretch of the racetrack. We had no other interactions with anyone as we walked around and respectfully avoided using the elevators or going into spaces that were being set up for race day before more than 100,000 fans would flock here for the two night races scheduled in a few days (Food City 300 9/12/25 - Bass Pro Shops 9/13/25). This is a beautiful and well maintained Motor Speedway and it was an amazing experience that we will always remember as we traveled across this part of the country. It goes to show that not having a plan can be the best plan, I don't think I would of ever been able to plan something like this and yes of course I watched both races on TV after this wonderful visit to this track, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good...

You can have up to eight people without being charged more so it's truly a steal for the price. This light display is absolutely beautiful and I'm amazed with the hard work that these people put into this yearly event. You get to actually drive on the race track which is absolutely cool some of the twists and turns actually are pretty scary because you kind of come close to contact with a few things was more worrisome if you're driving a big truck. You have a choice in the race track if you want to stay for the Christmas Market or you could just make your way out of the Christmas light show. The Christmas Market is okay I suppose. It's really just a touristy cash grab. Kids get to meet Santa Claus, there's a small vendor Market, other food and drinks that that are festive to the holiday. We didn't stay for too long but upon leaving it took us about 10 minutes to get out just because some of the traffic in front of us was very slow and really taking your time to get out. I do think that to enjoy this experienced the most you should drive throughout the entire place without headlights on just because it distracts The View from person in front of you because a lot of the other patrons also do it too. Also, it's recommended that you stick to the radio station that they advertise just so it feels completely festive. I personally don't think that you should pull over to the side of the road while everyone passes you up.

Tasting room manager Rob was there, and he was one of the most hilarious servers I've ever had! This place is tiny; 3.5 acres of vines, composed of Chambourcin and one other (Steuben I think?). The wines are very reasonably priced at between $11 to $14 each. All the offerings were hybrids, although I was told a special Cabernet Franc was on the way. While I normally don't like sweet wines, I made an exception for a glass of their Steuben. Just as interesting as the wines were their plans to expand into a distillery. Rob had a proud moonshiner background, and he was looking forward to making brandy - a rarity in the distillery business. For that, I'll definitely be back.

We caught a production of The Da Vinci Code, and it completely blew us away. For a small town, this place is incredible. The quality of the performance was top-notch, the theater itself is charming, and they run roughly six different productions a day across morning, afternoon, and evening shows. The tickets were very reasonably priced, making it an easy and enjoyable detour. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area and only wish we had planned to stay longer. If you're anywhere near Abingdon, Virginia, do yourself a favor and make time for a show at the Barter Theater. You won't regret it!

So the way they play their games is if you win before a certain amount of balls have been called you can win a better prize such as a barbecue, a higher value gift card etc. So one guy literally won a lawn gnome and one lady "won" three items. I say this because the game clearly states 21 and over because technically it's a bar but they do NOT enforce this at all. That lady had brought three people who were teenagers. A few other people brought little kids that definitely did not belong there. I noticed on the calendar that they have country line dancing so not sure if I would come back to try that.
