Summer Saturdays from 6-9 p.m. are Cruise Nights at Bethel, Connecticut’s Sycamore Drive-In, with classic cars, a DJ, giveaways, and of course, the Sycamore’s famous French Style Steakburgers and homemade Old-Fashioned Root Beer.  This Saturday, July 19, should prove to be an extra-special Cruise Night as The Sycamore celebrates their 60th anniversary.  Read more about the Sycamore in B.J. O’Brien’s story for the Bethel Beacon, and Brian Koonz’s story for The News-Times of Danbury.  Brian Koonz has also posted a video with some interviews he did at the drive-in.

Michael Stern, in his Roadfood.com review of the Sycamore, says “It is famous for its root beer, made on premises from a top-secret recipe and served in frosty glass mugs. The root beer varies from sweet to dry, depending on where in the barrel yours comes from, but whatever its nature on any day, it always makes the perfect basis of a root beer float.”
