Ninety-Nine West Twin Cinemas & Drive-In Theatres

Great Place for the family, friends, couples. Enjoy a movie or two on a big screen from the comforf of your vehicle.
The concessions and restrooms are superb.

Love this spot!!! It’s one of the top drive-​ins in the country apparently. What an a grand example of Americana and a family owned establishment to boot. We saw Purple Rain (so much better than I remember!!) and batman V superman. My family and I have been coming here for 10 years and I am grateful that my kids have gotten to experience that same feeling of going to the drive ins that I did whilst growing up in California. Keep it up guys, you rock!!!

This is our favorite thing to do in the summer. We always bring lots of friends and games to play while we wait. It’s just a great place to spend the long summer nights.

What a great place to watch a movie and to spend a Saturday night with your loved ones and family! One of the last drive-​ins around, and the atmosphere that goes with hanging around the drive-​in brings back so many memories of my teen years. The admit price is very reasonable, the concession stand is clean and offer dogs, popcorn, pizza. The drive-​in plays current movie hits and does double features. So much fun there.

It’s so nice I see a drive in.
So hard to come by these days.
It may be a drive but so worth it .
Please take your kids to a drive in share the nostalgia of it .heck take your parents and listen to their crazy drive in stories, but be prepared .
It can’t get any more bonding then that.
There is so few it’s a very good chance there won’t be any more when your children grow up.

I love seeing movies at drive-​in theaters! Living in Beaverton it is a little bit of a drive but we’ll worth it! Use to see a lot of movies at the drive-​in that was in the city I did my undergrad in in Colorado and it kinda got me hooked. Seems like these places always have a double feature and the prices are a lot cheaper than going to a regular movie theater.
This location seems to have just recently gotten an upgrade to a digital projector which was definitely nice!
Based on their site we decided to get there an hour before dusk since they get busy on Friday evenings. When we got there the place was still pretty empty, but the movies playing weren’t big name ones (thought ET and a more recent popular movie were playing that day, but I had gotten that wrong… oh well). We brought food with us for dinner so that helped pass the time. The first movie which I had never heard of ended up being quite entertaining but we left after the first feature because our friend had to work the next morning.
If you have never been to a drive in movie I highly recommend going to see one at 99W. It’s a great place to take kids (depending on the movies playing) or to go on a date (good excuse to get cuddled up in the back of the car)!
Now for a little PSA (my little side rant): To the «young» kids that were in the Subaru next to us… turn your (enter expletive of choice here) car off while waiting in the lot! There was no reason for you to run your AC… it was nice and cool outside! You were killing us and everyone else with your carbon monoxide emissions! I’m not from Oregon but how un-​green of you! And to anyone else thinking about doing it… don’t. It makes the experience unpleasant for everyone else around you. Thank you.

Oh, come on! You people giving them 2 stars because of kids playing to pass the time before the movie starts? Or because its your fault you got there too late and they were sold out and now youre disgruntled and giving spiteful reviews? Really? Lol wow! Plan better? Driveins are a rare gem! Of course people will flock there and fill it up fast, especially when its a movie everyone and their grandpa wants to see! This place is awesome and with the best popcorn around! The owner is very personable and actually gets on the speaker to give «birthday beeps’ shout outs to those with a birthday. He also asks his customers what movies they would like to see played in his theater. He does his best to accomodate. They have great snack foods. Even big pickles! My only complaint is that soon they close for the season. I truly hope those of you who havent been there yet, do go! Dont listen to the poor reviews. Undeserved. One guy gave them 2 stars but in the same breath said he hopes they stick around. Lol! Hmmmm… Giving poor reviews just might keep people from trying them out and hurt their business, resulting in a closure some day! They barely break even at this theater as it is because it costs so much to run it. If we dont help support driveins, they will completely vanish and that would be a shame. I prefer it to an indoor, stuffy, packed, noisy theater any day! Bottom line: This is a great drivein! Die hard fan here. Theres also one in Dallas, Oregon. Just an fyi.

Why aren’t there more drive ins? First off get there early! 5:30 is about perfect the line getting in is crazy. The spots are alittle tight don’t bring your jacked up truck here you will look like an asshole and guys like me will laugh at you! It’s too close of quarters, too many loose kids the spots are only wide enough for two mid sized vehicles. It was fun good place and we will do it again.

So glad this is still around, an absolute favorite growing up and a Newberg icon. Still the best popcorn I have ever had and the summer wouldn’t be the same without a movie here!

I’ve been going to this place for years and was SO excited when they won a digital projector from Honda! I also love how they show old intermission reels during intermission, and I appreciate that they keep the place clean and the food I buy from their concessions stand isn’t scary and haggard-​looking.
You can find their «Rules of the Drive-​In» and FAQ at their webpage.
Some recommendations based on my experiences with being a patron over the years:
–It can be tempting to bring in food or beverages from outside but this is a family-​run local business and they make most of their profits from concessions. Admission rates are crazy low compared to other theaters and you get to bring in blankets and inflatable mattresses, etc. so I choose to support them by buying from the concessions stand. They don’t allow alcohol or glass containers of any kind on the property, FYI, too.
–Movies start at dusk and the lot can fill up quickly. You can’t leave once you’ve entered, so I recommend really planning to make a night of it and showing up as early as possible. Show up as soon as the place opens, which can mean you’re parked for a few hours before the movies start. So, bring friends, bring cards and board games, and be prepared to have an amazing and substantial amount of time with friends when you go here.
–They DO accept credit cards now (and there’s still no ATM on site). This wasn’t previously the case, but you can use plastic now, too. :-)
–They have at least one set of jumper cables that they lend out (I believe you have to leave your driving license with them as collateral) at the end of the double feature, but you may want to bring your own cables anyhow. I’ve never had my car battery die and I always start my engine during intermission so I’m not just running my battery for sound through two movies and intermission. If you’re not comfortable using your car FM radio, you can always buy and bring in a battery operated one, too.
–They do special events and first-​run as well as classic movies (e.g., Ghostbusters, Rocky Horror, etc.) and are only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings and only during certain months, so check their website to make sure they’re open before you plan on visiting. They keep their webpage up to date and it’s easy to use on my iPhone, too, which is nice.

«Thought it would be better»
Not like I remembered. .
Lots of noisy kids, (no parent supervision).
Movie was excellent.
Food not so.
Glad to see there are still drive-​inns. Wish this one was better ran.
Will be back though, maybe find better spot.

Had plans to come here for a birthday. Waited in line for an hour. Got here at 7:30. Seemed reasonable enough. After pulling into the entrance, there was a sign that said sold out. No where to turn around, had to drive through the chaotic parking lot to leave. Will not be back again. However, the idea behind this place is great and it is historic. Just needs updates. If you want to get in here, show up at 7 at the latest

99W is a real piece of history. I recommend it for all families in the PDX area. It is great for kids and a must for everyone at least once. The snack shack has great popcorn and hot dogs. Movies start at dark so get there early for a choice parking spot.

This place was way cooler than expected. Great selection of snacks and memorabilia. They even gave gluten free pizza. Tonight was the last night for traditional «film» movie as they were able to win a contest to go digital.
Bathrooms were surprising clean.

Ah nostalgia… I don’t know about you, but I have some incredibly fond memories of nights at the DriveIn as a youngster. Picnic dinners, blanket car forts, and cinematographic excellence. After discovering this gem, I was waiting months for the right movie line up and empty summer weekend to miraculously align… And then it happened.
We drove down packed FULL of equipment no knowing what to expect. Ultimately I successfully relived my childhood, but learned a few key things to share with you all as well:
* Gone are the days of speakers hanging on your car window! Now everything it routed through FM radios. We brought an AM/​FM boom-​box but ended up not using in favor of the car stereo.
* Once you enter, you CANNOT leave for food. Not even walking across the street. So plan ahead or hit the concessions stand
* On that note, the line for the concession stand is massive but food is decent. (It’s also how the DriveIn makes most of its profit)
* You cannot have a tailgate lifted that would interfere with the viewers behind you. But you can use bungee cords to lower the tailgate enough to watch comfortably without interfering with neighbors.
* Come EARLY and wait in line to get a spot. It’s worth it.
* Visit their Facebook Page, it offers a plethora of information
Can’t wait to plan another visit, hopefully before their seaon closes in October!

Best place to hang out in Newberg! The 99W Drive-​In is a treasure. It’s fun, hip, entertaining, and just a great experience overall. Make sure to bring some money to spend at the concessions stand because food sales are what help keep this theater alive.
Get there early. Bring cash. Stay awake. Have fun.

Such a fantastic place to take the family… especially on a Sunday when the line in is significantly shorter than other nights.
We watched only the first of the two movies and paid WAY less ($ 16 total; the kids were free!) than we would have in a theater. AND, we were able to bring our own food, drinks, and puppy!
We will definitely return annually to make this a family tradition!!!

One of only four remaining drive-​ins in Oregon, the 99W is the gem of the four. Owned by the same family since it was opened, the 99W maintains the charm of the drive-​in that keeps its patrons returning weekend after weekend.
At the 99W you can see two movies for less than the price of one ticket to a Regal! Quite the deal, am I right? The concessions are far cheaper and have a wider selection than that of Regal as well, and you an sit well knowing you have just put money into your local economy as well as helping to keep an American icon alive.
Also, you don’t have to sit through a bunch of lousy commercials like you do at a Regal! You instead get to enjoy fun and kitschy reels from days gone by that can’t help but make you smile and giggle.
The staff is friendly, and reminds you to be kind and courteous to those around you. Many families take hatchbacks, which is great, but some need a little help in keeping their hatch down to an appropriate level and the staff can aid in providing twine to keep your hatch at a level so those behind can see the screen.
The place is neat and tidy, with trash cans that line the center of the area and the bathrooms are always stocked with toilet paper and towels.
For more tips on attending the 99W or any drive-​in for that matter, I have made a list of some drive-​in tips for your next visit on my blog:

Hey everyone. There is a drive-​in theater in Newberg, OR. Apparently only a few Unilocalers know about it. Hopefully a few more will know about it after my review. Go show this place some love. There aren’t too many drive-​in theaters left in this country and we Portlanders have one not a 30 minute drive away.
You don’t come here for the movies. You come for the experience. A double feature for $ 8. Sitting outside on a Summer night eating and drinking with friends while watching part of a screen (damn SUV’s in the way of me viewing the Smurfs) is just such an American way to spend a night. I’m not sure what that means.
Buy some food while you are here. That is the real way this place will stay open. The food is cheap. Hot dogs for $ 2.50. Popcorn for $ 3.50. Ice Cream Bars, Chilly Dilly’s (dill pickles), Nachos and such. Sadly no soft serve ice cream. That would’ve hit the spot.
It is like stepping back in time coming to a place like this. They need your support. Support them. Please.

Seriously, who doesn’t love the drive-​in?
Drive-​ins are so historic and are truly innocent fun. You get to watch movies from the comfort of your car, outside on a beautiful summer night, snuggle with your family and whisper without interrupting anyone else, make out like a bandit and no one will ever know, and relive classic Diet Coke commercials featuring Elton John and Paula Abdul. Super fantastic!
This place is great. The movies are relatively inexpensive ($ 8 each for adults, for 2 features), but bring your cash.
You need to go kinda early to get the best spot, but that’s OK. The beauty of the drive in is to get there, set up the blankets and chairs, grab some grub from the concession stand (which is pricey), or set up your own goodies.
The bathrooms at this location are probably the best I have ever seen at a drive-​in, but trust me when I say its just a couple steps above a shared sex gas station rest room.
Either way, bring your kids. They will love it.
