Came in about 35 minutes before our reservation(on a Tuesday night) and sat at the bar. Parking was difficult, but that’s expected for this part of the city. The simulators were honestly nothing out of the ordinary basically a slightly upgraded PS5 experience with a moving, vibrating chair and built-in speakers. The steering wheels didn’t have any functional buttons, no extra settings or options, just paddle shifters and driving. It felt pretty basic for what’s advertised. Drinks are expensive, but they were well made. I paid for a 3-race package for two, and my biggest complaint is that all three races are done back-to-back. Once you’re finished, you either stay, drink, and pay to race again, or you leave. I really wish they allowed you to space out the races it would give you more time to enjoy the atmosphere, relax, have drinks, and then race again. That alone would significantly improve the experience. Service was mixed. The male bartender was super friendly and well mannered, while the female bartender was the opposite — no smile and not very welcoming. Overall, it was a fun one-time experience, but not something I’d go out of my way to return to.

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.

Fun! Modern and dance music mixes playing while you enjoy. 3 races per person is $32 which is the base. Cool bathrooms and closes at 1am. In a great location near all the nice residences and restaurants on the water. A bit pricey but it’s fun to race against your friends.

This place is really cool!!! Not a place I’d go every week, but definitely a fun place to go once in a while, especially if you like video-like games, fun drinks, and F1. I highly recommend going with a group or at least a few friends … and making reservations. First, it’s a little pricey, but I really do feel like that’s expected for a place like this. It’s worth the money … for some fun, but definitely go knowing that you’re going to spend a little money. Second, the staff is very friendly. They definitely make this easy to understand and an enjoyable experience. Third, the food and drinks are super yummy!!! I love the drinks!!! They were actually good quality for a place like this. And last, the game is shorter than I would have liked, but I guess that means it’s super fun!!! I love the different options and ease of use.

This place is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, the design just hits, sleek, modern, and totally on-brand with the F1 energy. Think LED lighting, racing-themed decor, and a layout that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a high-end paddock lounge. The attention to detail is seriously impressive. The simulators were a blast too, super immersive and way more realistic than I expected. Great for both casual fans and people who actually know what DRS means 😅. Drinks were solid, staff was cool, and the whole setup made for a really fun night out. Definitely coming back.

The Paramount delivers breakfast and brunch in a compact, welcoming setting in downtown Boston. Reviewers praise retro vibes, friendly, fast service, and flavorful dishes—from Mediterranean omelette and Huevos rancheros to Nutella Pancake. While lines and tight seating appear on busy mornings, the indoor and outdoor seating and standout flavors make it a gem worth returning to.
