The Casbar Motel & Drive-In opened its gates on June 28, 1958 featuring the “largest CinemaScope screen in all of British Columbia” measuring 100ft, and was first managed by Paul Gauthier. It was still open in the mid-1970s, but appears that it may’ve closed in 1978. The motel was still open to this very day as the Airport Inn Motel & RV Park, but the drive-in is long gone.

  • The theater is located on 3101 Hwy 97 Hwy N, Quesnel, BC V2J 5V5, Canada. The location on Apple Maps is also WAY too far off.

Casbar Motel opened 20th May 1958. Casbar Drive-in and motel opened on 28 June 1958. Casbar Drive-in closed in(1978 or late 1985?). The site is now a campground next to the motel(now called Airport Inne and Campground).
