All Alone A&W Drive-In

For what its worth, A&W is almost non existent in some places now that is no longer a part of the YUM! Brands business. In the entire Twin Tiers coverage area, there is only 7 locations that I'm aware of and this is the only stand alone A&W of those 7 that still uses a drive-in service. This particular A&W however is probably the best just because of the fact that it has that vintage charm to it. The only other chain to do a drive-in is Sonic, which is now starting to creep into the Twin Tiers coverage area in the more populated cities.

Vintage goodness.

As you can see in the background, you can also play a round of mini golf at this A&W.

Anyone up for an outdoor picnic?

Let's move on into the retro diner experience.

As this place has always been busy when I visit, I've been only able to capture a few pictures on the inside. I do want to mention that when ordering from a table on the inside, you must place a phone call to the kitchen. You'll see an example of a phone in the lower left of the picture below:

What time is it? Neon time!

A trip to A&W wouldn't be complete without having some root beer, so here's a picture of the mug it comes in:

It's sad to know that this chain that at one time did rather well has now fallen into only a handful of locations. It is even rarer to find a stand alone A&W drive-in. At least one still remains in the Twin Tiers coverage area!
