Four Brothers Drive-in does not post a set start time that we could find. Most drive-ins start the movie around dusk, which in October is about 6:41 pm and at midsummer closer to 9:05 pm. Plan to be parked by sunset and check with the theater on the day you go.

Can I bring my own food to Four Brothers Drive-in?
You can bring your own food to Four Brothers Drive-in once you have bought a permit for $60 a car. The permit is worth it if you were going to spend more than that at the counter anyway. Without one, outside food is not allowed in.
Are dogs allowed at Four Brothers Drive-in?
Dogs are welcome at Four Brothers Drive-in as long as the leash stays on. Keep it short near other cars, bring water, and clean up afterwards. A nervous dog is worth leaving at home, because sound carries across a lot.
