With the feel of an old drive-​in (sans the automobiles) you can watch a variety of movies, shorts, cartoons, and video content outdoors with a big fire pit, a large area of grass, and space to bring a folding chair. There are lots of places to grab a bite or drink — coffee, smoothies, yogurt, mexican food, argentine food, subs, sushi and pizza (you can actually watch the show while eating pizza on their patio).
They show feature movies on the weekend and during the week old tv shows, cartoons, and seasonal stuff. It runs from sundown until around 10 or 11pm every day of the year.
It can be a little hard to find, but if you can locate LA Fitness or Old Spaghetti Factory, you’re getting warmer. It’s nestled between Pizza Nova and Ryan Bros Coffee. Lots of free parking.
They’ve also hosted the annual San Marcos Student Film Festival 2 years running, which is usually in June, and again free to the public.
The only reason for the lack of 5 stars is that it is COLD in the winter, and WET when its rainy… not that there’s a real solution to that, other than a blanket and an umbrella… Expect kids running around, outdoor noise from cars and conversation, but its all part of the fun. Did I mention its all FREE?

Talk about an experience, bring some food and sit around the pit to get warm. A couple of us came with some Phil’s BBQ and just chowed down while watching PG rated old «scary» movies.
It was cool because as we were enjoying the movie, more individuals came and just joined in on the fire pit and watching the movies with us. I plan on coming back but maybe when i am more familiar with one of the movies playing.
