F1®️ ARCADE WINS ‘BAR OF THE YEAR’ AT THE BIRMINGHAM AWARDS

F1®️ Arcade Birmingham has won the award for the ‘Bar of the Year’ at the 9th annual Birmingham Awards 2024. The venue opened in November 2023 as the second UK location for the F1 Arcade brand which is based in Paradise, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham.

The award was given in celebration of F1 Arcade’s ultra-modern backlit ‘Octane Bar’ that spans the centre of the venue and boasts a jaw dropping full size Formula 1 car suspended from the ceiling.

The Birmingham Awards are dedicated to showcasing the talent, dedication and heroes that make Birmingham a remarkable place to live, work, and thrive. Their mission is to recognise excellence across various sectors, fostering a sense of pride and unity within our community.

The first-of-its-kind experiential hospitality venue F1 Arcade, showcases 53 bespoke full-motion racing simulators which have been uniquely designed by a leading simulator design company in conjunction with F1.

General Manager at F1 Arcade Birmingham, Liam Hughes, said, “To be crowned bar of the year in F1 Arcade’s first year is a testament to all the hard work our team put in each and every day to ensure every visit is exceptional and memorable for our guests. Everyone knows how well respected the Birmingham Awards are, so it means a lot – and with our first anniversary taking place on 21st November, what better way to celebrate!
