F1 Arcade Menu Prices 2026: Food, Cocktails & What to Order

Q: How much does F1 Arcade cost to enter?

F1 Arcade charges an entry fee that covers simulator time, which is separate from food and drink. Booking prices vary by location, day, and time slot — peak-weekend sessions typically run around $40–$60 per person for a standard race package, while off-peak midweek slots may be lower. Check the official booking page at f1arcade.com for current pricing at your nearest location, as prices change with season and demand.

Q: Do you have to pay separately for food at F1 Arcade?

Yes. The entry fee covers simulator access only — food and drinks are ordered and paid for separately at the bar and through table service. Small plates range from around $12–$16, mains from $13–$16, and cocktails from $15–$17. Budget roughly $30–$50 per person for a comfortable food-and-drink spend on top of your entry booking.

Q: Can I walk in to F1 Arcade without a reservation?

Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed, particularly on weekends, evenings, and during F1 race weekends. Simulator pods are typically bookable in advance online. Walk-in availability depends heavily on how full the session is — arriving early in the week or at off-peak hours gives the best chance. For groups of 6 or more, advance booking is strongly recommended. Check availability at f1arcade.com.

Q: What food does F1 Arcade serve?

F1 Arcade serves American bar food designed for sharing — the menu centers on small plates and shareables like Loaded Nachos ($14), Mini Sliders ($15), Truffle Parmesan Fries ($12), Crispy Calamari ($14), and Chicken Wings ($15). Mains include the F1 Smash Burger ($16), Club Sandwich ($15) and Caesar Salad ($13). Desserts include Churros ($10). The menu is intentionally compact and hand-friendly so you can eat between races. All items are available to order through server table service.

The brand originated in the UK (Birmingham and London) and is expanding in the U.S. — check f1arcade.com for new openings.

Q: Is F1 Arcade good for groups and corporate events?

Entry vs. dining

What's included in your booking — and what's ordered separately

F1 Arcade operates on a two-part model: your entry booking covers simulator time (typically 60 or 90 minutes of competitive F1 racing across multiple rounds), while food and drinks are ordered and paid for separately through table service at your pod or from the bar.

This means your food bill is entirely à la carte — order as much or as little as you want. The kitchen is designed around sharing; most visitors order two or three plates to share across a group of four.

Prices may vary by location and season. Check f1arcade.com for current booking rates.

$16 · Most ordered main

F1 Smash Burger

Double smash patties, American cheese, pickles, shredded lettuce, tomato and special sauce on a toasted brioche bun. Served with fries. The go-to main for most visitors — satisfying without being too heavy before racing.

About F1 Arcade

Where Formula 1 racing meets a proper bar menu.

F1 Arcade launched in Birmingham, UK in 2022 as a joint venture with Formula 1, combining state-of-the-art professional-grade racing simulators with a full food and drinks experience. The concept was built on a simple insight: F1 is the world's most-watched motorsport, and its fanbase spans demographics — from lifelong petrolheads to newcomers drawn in by the Netflix effect. The simulators replicate actual F1 car physics and cockpit geometry, offering a genuine challenge for both racing veterans and first-timers alike.

The U.S. expansion brought F1 Arcade to Boston's Seaport in late 2023, followed quickly by Washington DC, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The food and drinks menu was designed in partnership with experienced hospitality operators — not an afterthought, but a full bar-and-grill program with F1-themed cocktails, proper shareable plates, and table service to every pod.

Ordering guide

What to order at F1 Arcade — tips for a first visit

Best value plate

Truffle Parmesan Fries

At $12, these are the cheapest plate on the menu and consistently rated as one of the most reordered items. A solid baseline order while you wait for the bigger shareables to arrive.

Best cocktail entry point

Grand Prix Spritz or Pit Stop

Both at $15 — the most affordable cocktails on the menu. The Grand Prix Spritz (Aperol/prosecco) is the lightest option; the Pit Stop (tequila/lime) is the sharpest. Both are easy to drink through a race session.

Best for big groups

Nachos + Sliders + Wings

The core trio for a group of 4–6. Order one Nachos, two Sliders and one Wings for around $44 on food — a comfortable sharer spread that can be expanded with another round of Fries.

Non-drinkers

Paddock Pass Mocktail

At $10, this cucumber-mint-elderflower mocktail is the best non-alcoholic option on the menu — more interesting than a soft drink and a genuine cocktail-quality build. The Victory Lap ($11) is the more tropical option.

End the meal

Churros

The Churros with Dipping Sauce at $10 are the most popular dessert — fresh, shareable, and easy to eat at the table. The warm chocolate and caramel sauces make them more of a centrepiece than a quick finish.

Race day tip

Book the F1 race weekend

Venues run special events around F1 Grand Prix weekends with live race screenings on large screens, themed cocktail menus and promotions. These sessions sell out quickly — check the events calendar on the F1 Arcade website well in advance.
