We arrived in Boston and found this place near where we were staying, so we thought to check it out with our kids. The staff were great and got us in by a table for us to be able to get food while our kids ended up driving for us! They LOVED it! The staff were great with checking on us and our kids to ensure they were set up comfortably! We had great food and drinks! Everyone we interacted with was fabulous!! Thank you for kicking off our time in Boston with a great find!

NOT FOR RACING FANS!!

“Prosecco upon arrival” came 20 minutes later. F1 sims - 😬 - terrible throttle and brake mapping makes the sim incredibly hard to use. Basically 0% throttle or 100%. Gives you the option to drive with no assist (my preferred), but the sim is so shit it’s impossible. At one point my wheel broke and started spinning in circles till I hit emergency stop…. Each “race” is a timed 5 minute race from a randomly selected track starting at the grid with no finish line. It just goes till time expires. This is VERY geared towards Elementary level racing. Any real F1 or any semi to very competitive sim and/or racing fans beware! This sim will not offer a comparable experience to any basic home setup. Basically equivalent to any run of the mill full motion arcade level setup, but just running old F1 games instead. We spent $200 for 2 people, 5 races, 2 “proseccos upon arrival 😂”, and a 6 beer bucket of “house beer” I.E., Coors Light. ABSOLUTELY WHOLE HEARTEDLY recommend buying a wheel, pedals, and a fifth of booze, and having a far superior experience at home on your gaming platform of choice for about the same price. If you need to drink, -> Fenway Johnnies….. The native game engine the sim runs on is very old. Looks like F1 2018? But I can’t be sure. Leaving 1 star because I can’t put ZERO and I guess this experience would satisfy the completely uneducated racing fan out there who likes to drink more than any sort of racing.

F1 Arcade was a really fun experience. I went with a group of five, and it was a great spot for a group outing. The setup makes it easy to stay engaged, competitive, and just enjoy the experience together.

We only had drinks and didn’t try the food, but the bar service was solid and kept things moving. Price points felt pretty average for Boston—not cheap, but reasonable for what you’re getting and the type of experience it offers.

Overall, it was a good time and definitely somewhere I’d go back to, especially with a group looking for something different to do.

It’s a little too loud in there but I guess some people like that.

The service was bad, it took around 30 mins for a server to come to our table.

Food was expensive and portions were ridiculously small. Racing was fun but I expected the seats to move more. Overrated and expensive. Save your money.

I am an avid F1 fan and this was such a good experience. Me and my wife had fun racing each other. We didn’t come for the drinks or food so I cannot comment on that but the reception was great and knowledgeable on the simulator. If I lived here in Boston I would with out a doubt come back.

I'm an F1 fan by association via my husband, but I was really impressed with the vibe here.
The drinks were delicious and fun (get the one they light on fire). The food was interesting and tasty. And the driving was really immersive. I've played a lot of racing arcade games and these ones were no joke. The seat moves, the wheel was satisfying to hold and you could feel the g force in the turns. It was a real workout!
I suck at driving, but rookie mode gave me a fighting chance. I'm sure better drivers would appreciate the feel of the paddle shifting and all the fun buttons on the wheel. We're definitely coming back here.
