The 76-year old famous British cafe is now coming to America in Orlando, Florida. Ace Café plans to open an entertainment and retail complex, including a restaurant and bar, retail gift shop and a motorcycle dealership, in three renovated buildings in the central business district of downtown Orlando. endering are submitted to the city this coming September 16, 2014. The orlando Ace Cafe will be on a 3-acre property with 3 renovated buildings totaling more than 16,000 sq.ft of space.
Like in England, the restaurant & bar will be a gathering place for all Gearheads (called Petrolheads in the UK) who want to celebrate the automotive spirit, its history and culture while listening to good old rock n roll. The day-to-day Ace Cafe operations will employ close to 200 people. Almost daily events can be expected, from Old Ford Night and Mini Cooper meet ups to gatherings for motorcycle clubs. The location is facing Interstate 4, next to the downtown Lynx and SunRail stations.
Opening a Ace Cafe in Florida is like moving Sturgis to Texas.
Road trip!
Franchise no soul
I cant wait until you come to down town Orlando.
HeyDonna F., is it that bad?
Perverted, concept or not, ya gotta have some kind thoughts for 3 renovated buildings and new jobs. ☺
Thanks, but No Thanks !!!
There are Plenty of places that are Biker-friendly and want your $$$$ too !!!!
Don’t do it! You can’t franchise something like the Ace. That place has an undeniable position in motorcycling history and to try to build some hollow version of it, in a piece of shit town like Orlando of all places, is a big mistake.
I’m fortunate enough to have ridden to the real Ace Cafe in London and I knew just standing in that place that I was in a spot where so many other riders had been over the decades. There’s only one Ace Cafe.
dont understand WTF you should even care where Ace wants to build, is it going to affect you in any way, NO, so back off !!
The entertanment value here is reading the same negetive comments by the same negative pundits ( not really ) each article. Is there anything that you can say that is positive, ever? Thank you Cyril for all the GOOD and updated info you supply.
Aces Up! Best of luck. I look forword to having the Fish and Chips……
BadMonkey is right. Las Vegas’s Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty are nowhere like being at the REAL ONE!
Gotta look at the bright side-soon, us Colonists can take our new Indians to the Ace Cafe without an ocean freighter and a time machine ☺
For those of us that may never get to the original café, this might put the bug in my ass to go to the original, (bucket list). When I meet my wife 20 yrs. ago I told her, if we can,t get there on my bike, we will not be going! and it,s been that way since. We will be more than happy to ride to Orlando.
Perhaps a good business opportunity for some.
But certainly does nothing to enhance the Ace legacy………
-nicker-
The ACE Cafe guys do a great job. I’ve been to the original Cafe near London, attended events at Barber and such. Good show, good theme and invites a younger crowd into motorcycling, which we need. Now we need an ACE in Chicago.

I pray that this place becomes a great hangout – the last thing that Orlando needs is another Ace hole…
haha. the render indicates it might be cool enough for car guys, but no bikes parked anywhere in sight.
