“We’re thrilled to debut the first US F1 Arcade location in the bustling Boston Seaport neighborhood, following the incredible success in the UK,” said Adam Breeden, Founder and CEO of F1 Arcade. “Guests can enjoy an exceptional adrenaline packed venue and the thrill of racing in one space.

 
At the striking 37-foot long bar, the true centrepiece of the venue, guests can enjoy a variety of globally-inspired dishes that cater to all, including a kids menu. From delectable wagyu beef sliders and Ahi Tuna Tostada, to an impressive Seafood Tower – the menu features a unique taco and flatbread selection, raw bar menu and classic burger lineup.

 
The drinks menu will feature signature cocktails and ‘Designated Drivers’ mocktails, playfully named in homage to the Grand Prix. ‘Start Your Engines’ with a refreshing gin, campari, basil brandy, cherry and Amaro cocktail, before enjoying a Champagne favorite ‘Pole Position’ and finishing the evening with a ‘Smokin’ Lap’ reserve cocktail featuring bourbon, cognac and amaro.

F1 Arcade Boston Seaport will host Formula 1 watch party events, the first in the US where guests can experience Grand Prix races like never before.
