F1 Arcade opened its first venue in London in 2022, including a bar/dining experience, multiple Formula 1 racing simulators, and television screens for viewing Grand Prix action. The London site was followed by the unveiling of a location in Birmingham, UK, in November 2023. The inaugural U.S. expansion of F1 Arcade is situated at Boston Seaport, a 16,000-square-foot, two-floor facility with 69 F1 sims and a private room and bar area. F1 Arcade Founder and CEO Adam Breeden expressed excitement about the Boston venue’s opening, with plans for a second location in Washington DC in the fall. The Washington DC site will be part of a 30-site expansion across the U.S. until 2025 and beyond, according to Breeden. Special features at the Boston site include a 37-foot bar offering F1-themed cocktails, like “Start Your Engines” and “Smokin’ Lap,” along with globally-inspired dining options such as wagyu beef sliders, ahi tuna tostada, and a seafood tower.
