The 1955-56 Theatre Catalog included the Carlisle Drive-In under Bardwell. It held 200 cars and was owned by Hamkich Theatres of Memphis. A note in Motion Picture Exhibitor mentioned that it reopened for the 1960 season. The Carlisle Drive-In was also listed, without capacity or owner information, in the 1961 Motion Picture Almanac.
A 1955 aerial photo showed a drive-in about a mile north of Bardwell on US 51/62. A 1969 photo showed the screen missing and the site full of cars, possibly an auto junkyard. A body shop occupies the spot today.
