Very cool spot for those interested in F1 gaming, and a great place for drinks! The bar is an absolute vibe with a great layout. The games are super fun and even if everyone doesn't want to play, it's still fun to watch the and enjoying the food. The taco flight is as a great choice and for the price of $22 it's very reasonable (especially in seaport). Drinks are good too!! Would say that maybe the establishment should increase the music a bit, but still a good vibe here! read more

I came to F1 Arcade for an office event and it was a ton of fun! We all rotated in and out, trying out the simulation machines. I'm no driver... so I was quite horrible, but it was a blast! The staff was helpful and kept up the good vibes. I was actually pretty shocked on how solid the food was for a place like this, especially the Spicy Ahi Tuna Tartare. I'd actually come back and order a few apps, which is not what I'd expect to think. Overall, fun time! read more

We stopped in the F1 arcade for a drink and to hide from the cold Boston winter day before our dinner reservation. The space is cool but service is spotty and it's a bit confusing how to get set up. We grabbed seats at the table but had a really hard time ordering drinks as there aren't many servers walking around and even when we walked up to the bar we waited 15 min to get someone's attention when the bar was half empty. Drinks were decent, I enjoyed the winter spritz but observing the people around us it seemed like there weren't enough staff members to help people to their seats to drive and larger groups were not attended to well either. Cool concept but lacking in execution. read more

I sat at the bar here and expected great drinks with the usual bar food. But I was wrong!! The food was amazing as well. I ended up getting the bees knees. It was very gin and lemon forward which I enjoyed. The burger with truffle fries was the highlight of the experience. The meat was moist and flavorful with the perfect amount of toppings in the truffle fries. I would definitely get it again when I come back. Overall great experience and I may even decide to race when I come back! read more

Overall the service wasn't great at all. You have to try to tag a waiter to get drinks or food ordered. Drinks came out without garnishes. Food came out cold. Menu was very overpriced. It's great for games but not to hang out. read more

My husband and I are big F1 fans, so we were really excited to check out the F1 Arcade in Boston. The overall vibe of the place is super cool -- from the decor to the lighting, and even the bathrooms are on theme, which we loved. That said, the front desk experience wasn't great. The staff who greeted us weren't very helpful, and the sign-up process was more complicated than it needed to be. The bar drinks were also overpriced for the size, which was a bit disappointing. We did 3 races for $32, which felt like the right amount -- I wouldn't do more than that. The racing itself was a lot of fun, and you can choose your difficulty level, so it doesn't feel impossible or overwhelming. Overall, it was a fun experience and definitely worth trying at least once, but not something I'd go out of my way to do often. Great for F1 fans looking for a unique and themed activity in the city! read more

I came here with a reservation for a group of 10, and we were set up in teams of 2-3 in a section of 4 simulators. We were able to choose between a range of easy to hard modes, which determined how much our car drifted and helped accommodate different skill levels. Each race lasted a few minutes, and it was nice to switch out when your teammate was racing to take a breather and socialize. The sound and motion effects were high quality and probably my favorite part of the experience. They really enhanced the immersion by bumping you around and bringing the roaring engines to life as if you were really on the track in real life. Overall, this was a great experience for a reasonable price (under $30 per person). The facilities were very clean and new and there was also a bar if anyone wanted to grab drinks or food during or afterwards. read more

As huge Formula One fans, this was a must do while we were in the city of Boston. Located in the Seaport district this location has wonderful food and beverage offerings as well as simulators for racing. The drinks can definitely get expensive with their pre-selected cocktails, but I will say that they were delicious as we tried both the reserves. For the racing, you have an option of three races or five races and we opted for three as only one of us was racing. If you have a large group and you want to race each other, you have that option from a team perspective. We did the three races option and it was around $30. Because the weather was so rainy outside and cold this is a perfect place to spend a few hours just eating and drinking and having some fun. read more

This place is really cool!!! Not a place I'd go to every week, but definitely a fun place to go once in a while, especially if you like video-like games, fun drinks, and F1. The inside transforms you into an adult arcade that's all about F1. I highly recommend going with a group or at least a few friends ... and making reservations. First, it's a little pricey, but I really do feel like that's expected for a place like this. It's worth the money ... for some fun, but definitely go knowing that you're going to spend a little. Second, the staff is very friendly. Definitely make this easy to understand and an enjoyable experience. Third, the food and drinks are yummy. I love the drinks!!! They were actually very good quality for a place like this. And last, the game is shorter than I would have liked, but ... I guess that means it's super fun!!! I love the different options and ease of use. read more

Fun! Modern and dance music mixes playing while you enjoy. 3 races per person is $32 which is the base. Cool bathrooms and closes at 1am. In a great location near all the nice residences and restaurants on the water. A bit pricey but it's fun to race against your friends. read more

Food prices aside, everything was actually so good! The spicy chicken, truffle fries, and a bourbon neat are a lethal combo.

Fantastic environment. Decently priced drinks compared to other bars. And you get to sim race. It's a win win!

The drink pricing was an absolute scam. There is no kind way to put this whatsoever. For $60 of your hard earned money, you could get half of an ice filled pitcher of an awkward fruit punch with no more than two shots maximum in the recipe. Even my mild mannered fiancé spoke up because this is absolutely ridiculous. read more

I was so excited to finally try out F1 but I was unimpressed. We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty crowded, felt a bit claustrophobic trying to weave through the groups to get to the seats and bathrooms. As for the game, I wish it could have been 5 games 6 min each rather than 3 of 10 min. Or, have a warmup round, or some time in between to socialize with your group (although you can do that before/after). Also, one of our simulators also turned out faulty (unresponsive to controls) for the last game :( Drinks were also just fine. What I thought was their spin on an espresso martini (victory lap) is batched and heavy on the coconut and milkiness. Wouldn't get again. The welcome to Miami was stronger and not too sweet while the sake sunrise could easily have been a mocktail. Garnishes are fantastic though. Not sure if I'd return. Maybe on a less crowded weekday. read more

We recently visited the F1 Arcade for a date night. Definitely book reservations online before going in. Upon arriving we checked in and had some time to spare so we got drinks at the bar. We got a glass of rose and a beer, a little pricey for two drinks that weren't cocktails. Their food menu had a variety of items for everyone to enjoy, but we can't comment on the food itself as we didn't order anything. After a short wait we were able to go to our assigned driving simulators where an employee will provide some instructions. We did three races that went by extremely quick and had a minute or so in between. Our races were done in less than the thirty-minute timeframe given. As fun as it was, the races are short and quick so not really worth the price. Nonetheless a fun spot to go to for a date night or with a group of friends. read more

Formula 1 racing simulator fun. The drinks are typical price for fancy bars. The bartender didn't know how to make my drink but he liked it up but, with a little coaching from me, he was able to make me a pretty tasty beverage. I was there on a Sunday evening so the place wasn't very crowded. That was perfect for me because I'm tired of crowded bars. We didn't have a reservation but we were accommodated as soon as we walked in. If you are an F1 fan and want to try out driving a simulator, this is the place. read more

First and probably last time I'm coming here. It was $25 per person for 3 rounds that each lasted around 8 minutes. The total time spent racing was less than 30 minutes as advertised. Here is the step-by-step process from my experience : 1. Walk up the stairs and get your ID checked. 2. Go to the front counter to check-in for your race. 3. Find your assigned seats and come back when it is time to start the race. 4. Check-in AT your assigned seats. 5. Each race is back to back within 1-2 minutes. 6. Finish everything in under 30 minutes. I really don't like the strict timing of events. You HAVE to check-in twice, once with the host and once at your seat. And you have to do this on a strict countdown. If you don't sign in within the count down then you are not able to play that round --- you skip the round and you don't get another round back. I also do not like that each round is back to back within 1-2 minutes. This is barely any break to snack or converse. Here's a tip, if you want to hang out and chill for a bit before racing make sure you get there 30 minutes + before your race starts. They should do a queue system where when you sign in you can join a queue or group at the time you want to race. And they should do this for each separate round so you can have time to relax in between. Everything felt very rushed. Overall, the game itself was fun. You can individually choose different modes easy, med, hard for your driving style. Seats were not very adjustable. Seats had minimal movement to mimic real racing. The bar is cool. Very pretty and the espresso martini was very good. Bartenders were very nice. read more

I took my brother and two nephews here so we could all race against each other. I had been there before and enjoyed myself and was looking forward to racing against family members. Unfortunately, that is not an option. You have to race on teams and switch from one driver to another each race. Ok no big deal, we would still be able to track who had better lap times since you create an account and race under that info. The app was not working for me and the attendant was not able to change what team I was on and I ended racing under my son's account..but whatever..no big deal. I was angry though because part of the appeal of this experience to me was that place started your stats regardless of whichever city you visit that has one of these arcades. We were having a good time until one of the racing pods stopped working. By the time we got an employees attention the race was over of course. We were advised that we would have to wait for the other three racers finished all of the races and they could allow for one of us to race once by ourselves against bots. We just left and I posted this rather than fight for a refund. Over all..directions are confusing and the place in general can be skipped if you are teetering on whether you should go or not. read more

So I walked in here with my fiancé thinking this was a regular arcade. I had no idea it was an F1 driving arcade until we got inside. I loved how nice the bar looked and all the dried florals inside so we decided to grab a drink and some truffle fries. Our bartender was very slow and not the friendliest. Not sure what his deal was but at least my drink tasted really good! I loved the dried raspberry powder on top. The truffle fries were bursting with truffle flavor and so crispy! Would recommend even for drinks and a quick bar bite, just would not go back to the bartender we had. FYI- There are multiple bar areas if you don't like your service. read more

Revved up for the F1 Arcade! I didn't even know these arcades existed -- what a cool surprise! I'm an F1 fan (team McLaren!) and have watched plenty of the PlayStation game with my husband, but this felt like stepping right into a Grand Prix. The immersive vibe starts the second you walk in, and even the restrooms are on theme! We didn't book ahead because we wanted to wing it. With two people, you race Head-to-Head and can pick either 3 or 5 races. There's just a couple of minutes between races, so be ready! We went for 5 races, which gave us about 50 minutes in the simulator. The tracks are preselected and you race as yourself with the real F1 drivers. I stuck with rookie mode for all 5 races -- those hairpin turns are tough! Race 1 was basically me by myself after a rough start, but Races 2-4 were a blast battling with the pack. By Race 5, I just cruised at my own pace and enjoyed it. They've got fun themed drinks (including non-alcoholic options) and good food too. Just be aware it can get pricey if you're eating and drinking on top of the simulator cost. If you're an F1 fan or just love racing games, you should definitely check this place out. I'd go again for sure! read more

I had a good time with my group but I think everyone should I know what to expect. I initially thought it was going to be more go-kart style but the later found out it's a simulator. I then thought the simulator would be something fancier than what you get at a normal Dave and Busters type arcade but it's very similar. It's still fun but I guess don't expect much more. I heard these sims are capable of more but the settings are turned down for the masses? Idk. They have a large cocktail menu and a small selection of food for when we went in the afternoon. The apps were good but a larger menu would've been nice. The service was very slow and bad though. Not sure if it was a one off but the waiter straight up walked away from me and our table when I asked for recommendations because I didn't have a chance to look at the menu yet. Then he didn't come back for 20 min we had to flag someone down just to bring us waters. The margherita flatbread was delicious tho - flavorful. Drinks are expensive but to be expected in seaport. read more

This place was honestly a vibe! Took my bf here for his bday & we had so much fun. The music was on point, food was good, drinks were delish, & the racing was cool! If you're doing the "head to head" racing, I'd suggest the 5 races instead of 3. The 3 races were fun but slightly too short, we wanted more and ended up paying again for 3 more races! Which made it way more expensive than just getting the 5 races, haha. There were also some hiccups- our first race simulators weren't working, and we got charged for some items we didn't purchase, but staff was quick with moving us to different ones and fixing the charges. Apparently they are adding new updates and features soon, so we'd love to come back again with a bigger group! read more

Ehh cool-ish concept but super overpriced and the racing game is ridiculously difficult. Once you get a little behind it's nearly impossible to catch up to the pack.... Frustrating. I tried both level 1 & 2 and they seemed equally hard. Also ridiculously expensive for 2 people to do 3 races (which was maybe 20 mins of racing it was I think $65)!!! Unreal! However the place is brand new and has a cool atmosphere. The entrance is pretty cool with the red lighting. When I asked for the menu- it was a weird time (like too early for dinner and a little after lunch) and there was basically only pizza and burgers. We opted to eat elsewhere at this point... Don't know if I would be back- but our waiter was super nice and cool. read more

I recently attended a corporate/private event at F1, and overall, it was a fun venue as you could use the simulator for ~5 minutes, compete with colleagues, and then return to socializing. Then, whenever you felt like it, you could join another race. Unfortunately, there was no instruction provided for the simulators / race format. The food was pretty decent, including bit-sized birria tostadas, guacamole, and beef sliders. Service was sufficient for our large group and kept the drink orders coming. While it worked great for this corporate social, I think I would be really disappointed coming here if I was forced to do three back-to-back-to-back races in less than 30 minutes. The simulators are modern with nice screens, but they give zero illusion that you are actually racing as the seats have limited movement, and you often feel "alone" on the track if passing opportunities don't come about. It didn't feel much different than a home video game system, aside from the lively atmosphere. read more

The F1 Arcade in Boston was a really fun space visually. The driving experience was just so so, riddled with technical hiccups at startup and one of our three machines had no motion simulation or audio. The food was what you would expect in an environment like this. Staff were friendly and eager to try to help, but they have a lot of systems that need improvement. read more

I came F1 Arcade for the company's social event. It is nice to get private event section. Also the nice thing is not loud. Sometime these places are too loud to even talk, but this one has relatively quiet and nice. For food, it is typical American style. Not bad but not great either. Afterwards, I got really thirsty and had to drink a lot of water. The service was slow because only one person was taking drink order for 36 people. I didn't do Arcade driving. read more

" Ready Set , Go" Whoa ! This place rushes you too much . For about $25 you get 30 minutes of racing , 3 games . However no time in between games to pause and take a breather or rest . I didn't enjoy the rushed part . This is an adult arcade , we need a slight break or breather in between games , lol. The food is typical bar food and cost a million dollars, no but it's expensive. We got a drink and split some fries . If we weren't rushed into racing we would have chopped down a meal . Staff is friendly, vibe is pretty cool . Parking is manageable but difficult on the street metered. However parking garages are your best bet and it's very close to the arcade . read more

Came here with two reserved gaming booths for a group of 6 of us on a Friday night - definitely a very cool spot. The place felt very on brand for F1 fanatics and the technology was pretty nice - as someone who hasn't watched the show, I still had a lot of fun simply due to how cool the game was! The food was all right. Overpriced for what it was definitely, but given this is in Seaport and the main attraction is the racing, that was too be expected. It was also hard to flag down servers at any point - the place was pretty busy and seating was first come first serve so it was hard to decipher which of those standing were people who worked there vs. just other patrons. Everything tasted fine overall, just the portions were small in my opinion. It was also hard to get just water. Overall, I would say definitely come for the racing - maybe skip food and just stick to drinks if you need anything. read more

This place was LIT !!! 10000% recommend. It was really fun place for adults to feel like kids again and decently priced. A fun date night, girls night out, crew night out, birthday celebrations, some good family competition, all of the above! I am on the short side and I was still able to participate (gas and brake buttons on the wheel)! Staff was very friendly and helpful. They are definitely understaffed though so be a little more patient with them. Food and drinks were also excellent! This place is a vibe. read more

Such a fun experience! Stumbled across this walking around the seaport in Boston. I had never heard of it but my friend said it was a fun experience. We made reservations for 5 races. Each race was a difference course which was nice and you were able to face the people in your reservation party. They had a full bar with food. We had just ate lunch so we didn't try any of the food or drinks. This is a fun experience for a birthday or a group get together! read more

So much fun. Great aesthetics and design. Severs were helpful and fun. Driving experience was very enjoyable, so much so that we signed up to do it again later the same night!

Kept hearing about this place, so my friends and I thought we would give it a shot. We took the time to make a reservation a few weeks in advance to get a decent time on a Friday night. We had a 6:45 pm reservation and before walking in we were all carded. I wonder what would happen if I wanted to go into this place with someone that wasn't 21. Would they not be able to enter? The ambiance while walking in was very cool. The lighting was darker and there was lots of red everywhere. I will say the designer(s) clearly put a lot of thought and detail into the theme. While, I openly admit this was my mistake, I thought this was a go-kart place and not a simulator. Consequences, I was disappointed but able to get over that. What bothered me was that we had a party of 5 (on our reservation too) but we had to alternate between 2 simulators. Why have us make a reservation but not allow all of us to race at once? Furthermore, behind the simulators there wasn't a bar top for use to sit and watch. Instead we had to awkwardly watch our friends while simultaneously standing in front of a couple having a birthday celebration. I can't speak to the food there as we didn't eat any. From afar it did look appetizing. My friends had a couple of drinks which I sampled and they were very flavorful read more
