About Ace Cafe USA:

The original Ace Cafe opened in 1938 as a “transport cafe” on the north edge of London. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, the Ace became a pillar of the cafe racer culture and the mods & rockers era, as British youth discovered rock ‘n’ roll music on the jukeboxes and raced their bikes from cafe to cafe. Time passed, as did the glory days of the British motorcycle industry, but the dream lived on, and in 1994, Mark Wilsmore staged an event to mark the Ace Cafe’s 1969 closure. About 12,000 people attended this first Ace Cafe Reunion, which was hence dubbed “The World’s Coolest Motorcycle Event” and has been held every year since. The event regularly attracts more than 200,000 visitors and 40,000 bikes from more than 40 countries. Mark’s vision brought the iconic cafe back to the point where today it is the world’s most famous charismatic destination and pit stop for the global “petrolhead” community. Visit www.ace-cafe-london.com for details. In late 2016, the first Ace Cafe in the USA will open on a historic three-acre site in downtown Orlando, Fla.
