The Sunset Drive-In opened in 1947, and is celebrating its 60th year in business. It is the last open drive-in located in the Clarksburg area, located on Highway 19 a few miles south of Shinnston, and north of Clarksburg. It is a beauty! It is located adjacent to the Ellis Restaurant and has been owned by the Ellis family since 1955.
It has a huge screen with a home built into the screen tower. The drive-in is open seasonally, and the restaurant is open year-round. An interesting feature is that the drive-in sign is located on the other side of the highway from the drive-in. The Sunset Drive-In is located in a beautiful scenic location in the West Virginia mountains, and is well worth the visit if you are in the area.
