F1 Arcade USA
Kindred Concepts, the parent company of F1 Arcade, opened its first location in the United States in Boston Seaport on Monday. They have plans to unveil a second location in Washington DC in the fall.
F1 Arcade was initially launched in London in 2022, providing a unique bar and dining experience, along with several Formula 1 racing simulators and a collection of television screens to watch Grand Prix races.
Following the success of the London location, F1 Arcade introduced a space in Birmingham, UK, in November 2023.
Located in Boston Seaport, F1 Arcade’s first expansion in the United States occupies a two-story space with 16,000 square feet. The venue features 69 F1 simulators, as well as a private room and a 2,400 square foot bar area.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce the first F1 Arcade location in the United States, situated in the bustling neighborhood of Boston Seaport, following our remarkable achievements in the UK,” expressed Adam Breeden, founder and CEO of F1 Arcade.
“Guests can indulge in an extraordinary venue full of adrenaline and the thrill 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 look forward to the opening of our second location in Washington DC this fall.”
The Washington DC location, set to open in the fall, will be located in the Union Market District. Along with Boston, it is part of a broader plan for 30 locations across the United States, which Breeden plans to achieve by “2025 and beyond.”
Among the notable features at the Boston location is a 37-foot bar that serves F1-themed cocktails, including “Start Your Engines” (a mix of gin, Campari, basil brandy, cherry, and Amaro) and “Smokin’ Lap” (a blend of bourbon, cognac, and amaro).
Additionally, F1 Arcade Boston will offer a diverse array of globally inspired dining options, featuring dishes such as wagyu mini burgers, ahi tuna toast, and a seafood tower.
