F1 Arcade USA
Kindred Concepts, the parent company of F1 Arcade, has opened its inaugural location in the United States at Boston Seaport on Monday. They have plans to unveil a second venue in Washington DC in the autumn.
F1 Arcade initially launched in London in 2022, providing a unique bar and dining experience alongside multiple Formula 1 racing simulators and a collection of television screens for viewing Grand Prix races.
Following the success of the London venue, F1 Arcade introduced a site in Birmingham, UK in November 2023.
Situated at Boston Seaport, F1 Arcade’s first expansion in the United States occupies a two-floor space spanning 16,000 square feet. The venue boasts 69 F1 simulators, as well as a private room and bar area covering 2,400 square feet.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce the first F1 Arcade location in the United States, located in the bustling Boston Seaport neighborhood, following our remarkable achievements in the UK,” expressed Adam Breeden, the Founder and Chief Executive of F1 Arcade.
“Guests can indulge in an extraordinary venue filled with adrenaline and the exhilaration of racing, all in one place. The launch of F1 Arcade Boston Seaport sets the stage for our ambitious expansion in the United States, as we anticipate the opening of our second venue in Washington DC this autumn.”
The Washington DC location, slated to open in the autumn, will be situated in the Union Market District. Alongside Boston, it is part of a broader plan for a 30-site expansion across the United States, which Breeden has outlined to occur throughout “2025 and beyond.”
Among the notable features at the Boston venue is a 37-foot bar that serves F1-themed cocktails, including “Start Your Engines” (a blend of gin, Campari, basil brandy, cherry, and Amaro) and “Smokin’ Lap” (a mix of bourbon, cognac, and amaro).
Additionally, F1 Arcade Boston will offer a diverse range of globally-inspired dining options, featuring dishes like wagyu beef sliders, ahi tuna tostada, and a seafood tower.
