An exciting new dining and entertainment experience is racing into Philadelphia. F1 Arcade will be opening a new location, its fourth overall in the U.S., in the city next year, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The concept, which prominently features racing simulators, is moving into 1330 Chestnut Street. The sprawling 19,200 square foot space previously housed the West Elm furniture store that shut down earlier this year.

Hungry visitors to F1 Arcade can look forward to enjoying a menu with globally inspired cuisine. The bar will offer cocktails, and sober patrons can select and enjoy a “Designated Drivers” mocktail.

F1 made its way to the States in April of this year, openings its first U.S. location in Boston. Jon Gardner, F1 Arcade’s U.S. President explains that opening a Philly location was an ideal opportunity for the brand, stating “”Philadelphia, with its rich culture and history, felt like the perfect next step for our U.S. expansion.”
