We offer freshly baked cookies for dessert, and fries or chips for a quick snack option. The Paddock Lounge also boasts an extensive beverage menu.

Had a terrible experience at K1 Speed Irvine. A family member’s phone was destroyed on the track, and the manager, Seth, showed zero empathy or professionalism. He claimed there were signs telling guests to secure phones, but there were none, and staff never warned us. When we tried to address the issue so it doesn’t happen again, he became defensive and told us to leave instead of acknowledging the problem.

To make matters worse, I later found a January 2025 review from another customer (SS Strand) reporting the exact same issue, their phone was also damaged, and the front desk gave them no proper help or acknowledgment. They were even told by staff that “this happens all the time,” as if it’s normal and not a big deal. Clearly, the management hasn’t learned anything, isn’t trying to prevent it, and doesn’t seem to care about customer safety or service. They just sell expensive tickets and move on.

Very disappointing and unprofessional. We won’t be returning.

Great Happy Hour. Was not busy. Bummer cannot take alcohol drinks out of lounge but I understand. Drinking and driving is always a bad combination. Pizza was cheesy and chicken tenders juicy. Kid friendly. Most beverages come in bottles only.

BEWARE January 2025 Review – Important Safety Information

Our group purchased 4 races for $255 but had an incident after 1. During our visit, a phone was damaged while following all posted safety guidelines and staff instructions. When reported to the front desk, the staff member indicated this was a common occurrence, stating it “happens all the time.”

Upon requesting management assistance, I was unable to obtain:
– The manager’s full name for documentation
– A working contact number for follow-up (it errored out when I tried to call the number they gave)
– Any refund for the $255 that we paid
– Any resolution for the damaged property

What concerns me most is the staff’s casual acknowledgment that phone damage is a frequent occurrence, yet there appear to be no preventive measures or clear procedures for handling such incidents.

For transparency: We followed all safety protocols, maintained professional communication throughout, and simply seek appropriate resolution. I would appreciate the business owner or management contacting me to address these safety and customer service concerns.

Documentation of the incident, including date, time, and damage, has been preserved.

I’m aware that people come there for the racing experience. But if they’re scheduling a party with a large group you expect the staff to be prepared. The wait times to get pizza for kids was insanely long. Could have ordered door dash and gotten better service (seriously). Now the facility, the racing, the Race staff were great. We will be back the GrandBoys had a great time.

Awesome dad’s night out. Fun, competition and adrenaline. Just what a middle aged dad needs on the regular to keep sane in this western culture.

I was looking for a sports bar and restaurant near Irvine Orange County area and I came across this place. I decided to check it out and was really impressed by the drinks and food served there. You are in for a surprise though, because when I got there and realized it is also an indoor go kart place so I was mind blown. Before I even got food and drinks my friends and I went on the track for a race and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place for many reasons and I would also be hosting a team building event for my employees or a birthday party for my son in the near future.

I recommend you go check out this spot asap.
