    We had a nice visit here. The staff were nice and kept the lines moving; both at the gate and in…read morethe snack bar. The snack bar had the traditional faire, and a few surprises. We had their loaded fries which is topped with a homemade sweet n tangy meat sauce. Not bad. A Philly cheesesteak. Even better. The star of the show was a blueberry sundae fried dough. For a moment, I thought my wife was going to leave me and move in to the theater so she could have them every day... After tasting it, I wouldn't blame her. Make sure to support the snack bar, it is how theaters like this stay in business. Obviously you can't beat the value of 2 for 1 priced movies, so what's not to love? I'd stop by again if I were in the area and recommend you do the same.

    This place needs a write-up on Atlas Obscura for being a pitch perfect example of Upstate ephemera…read more It's such a great piece of vintage Americana in CNY. Located in the sleepy town of Palatine Bridge, El Rancho Drive-In was a fixture of my childhood and adolescence. In fact, it's the only drive-in I've ever been to. (Not surprising when you learn that there are only 400 left in the USA.) There's really not much to this spot except a tall, concrete wall with a screen overlay. An entrance booth outside (double-features are $5 for kids/$8 for adults, cash only) and a small building that houses a digital projector, a concession stand, and restrooms. The building is somewhat run down but serviceable with small bathrooms and a spot to grab a soda or any number of menu items. Besides that, it's pretty much an open field where you park your car and turn the radio to 90.5 for audio. (No old-school clip-on speakers here.) The owners and staff are amiable, and you can tell that they genuinely love bringing this unique experience to the community. They do have a no outside food and drink policy, which they really can't enforce. However, it's highly recommended that you purchase something from the snack bar as they really need the support to stay operational. A few years back, they were required to buy a digital projector that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's a family-owned small town business, so that's no small sum. Concessions are affordable and tasty here. Far less expensive and a much more romantic experience than your generic cineplex. It's also worth a drive if you are visiting nearby Sharon Springs or Cooperstown. In the future, it would be amazing if they could start showing a wider range of films and promoting themselves a little better. Right now, they're good at getting the most recent releases and bring them to the local audience, which is great. These offerings are usually kid-friendly. However, it would be terrific if they also did nights with classic films or allowed you to rent it for events. I would imagine that seeing something like "Casablanca" or "Back to the Future" here would be so cool!

The…read morechairs are comfortable and the spacing between them is nice you're not right on top of the chair next to you or the row In front of you! Concession was as expected and littered with different current movie swag to take home. There are always great promotions going on here and fun things like mystery movie nights and bringing back old classics to enjoy on the big screen! Def keep an eye on their rotation! Thanks for a great experience! :) Almost forgot: only critique is the drink carriers need improvement. Each carrier only holds two drinks and the handle is impossible to reach comfortably. It was super clunky to distribute in the theater too(glad I didn't drop any fumbling around) I was told you have to hold it from the bottom anyway because they're not to be trusted so i ended up just hugging the drinks anyway since i was carrying 4 plus popcorn haha.

There is a curb cut and auto-doors. There is an escalator there in the center of the building not far away, but a little farther away in center is a silver door with an elevator to take you right to the 3rd floor. Escalator requires a longer walk, as you have to take one staircase, then walk a bit to get on the 2nd escalator. Elevator opens to you being right at the ticket & snack area on the 3rd floor. LOTS of accessible seating in the theaters, but a light blanket might be needed as it's chilly. Women's bathrooms have 2 accessible stalls, but tile floors which might be slippery for some. Wide hallway in bathroom.
