If you're not interested in racing and just want good food (or if you want both), F1 Aracde will provide visitors with an elevated menu inspired by international flavors, including seafood towers, wagyu beef sliders, and birria tacos, to name just a few.
Organizers say visitors can also expect eye-catching signature cocktails prepared with premium spirits alongside thoughtful non-alcoholic creations.
The Scene
If visitors are looking to book a large party or have an added layer of exclusivity, the F1 Aracde will have The Briefing Room event space, which will feature 13 racing simulators and an 18-foot bar.
“As Formula 1 continues to surge in popularity across the United States, we couldn't think of a more fitting location for expansion than Philadelphia, home to many of the world’s most passionate sports enthusiasts,” said Jon Gardner, U.S. President of F1 Arcade. “We're eager to bring a new gathering space and our own unique brand of experiential hospitality, diverse food menu, and stellar cocktail program to Center City.”
