Ace Caf? rocks!!!!



This is a great place to stop by if you

are a rock n roll and motor fan or even better, both!!!

Ace caf? has a huge

tradition in London because has been open since 1938. This place is just

amazing. Tradition is the word when you talk about Ace Caf?. I am not fooling

around with that. Since the first moment you get into the building you will feel

a strange sensation of being transported to another dimension.  Black Letter or

sport jackets, grease, tight jeans and tuft faces (you can see that faces even

in young kids pretending to be bad ass riders) are the topic of this

surrealistic place. It is all about rock n roll bikes and cars.

The place start from long time ago and

Ace Cafes has evolved over the years. It was destroyed in the Second War after

an air raid and rebuilt it again; Original caf? was close in 1969, it where

opened as a modernized keeping the characteristic style but adding some new

features as a tire or ?tyres? (British call it in that way) sales and fitting

shop. In the past the cafe used to be open 24 hour a day but after the second

reopening they adopt a new ?human schedule? of 12 hour daily.

When European rock n roll start in the

lately 60s and 70s young people identify itself with this new way of expression.

Rebellion, anarchy and teen spirit where the perfect ingredients to make rock

not only a genre, from that time began to be a way of life and Ace caf?

turns into ?the place? to be if you were desirous of be part of this movements.

After the war began to increase traffic

and there was a resurgence of British adolescents, emerging a kind of single

bikers, the Ton-Up-Boys. It was a time of hatching by several factors, increased

the production of motorcycles and appeared madness by Rock'n Roll, that linked

to this era emerged in the famous jukebox, which were present in the cafeterias

of road made these become real meeting points of young people. That is how this

place changed into a meeting point for bike lovers. With the pass of the time

they also adopt cars inside the caf? theme and star making classic and sport car

demonstration and also a famous London TV show start to be transmitted from the

caf?. (Fift Gear).

Another factor was the Ace Cafe was the

Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man to the British went through a true pilgrimage,

and of course had their stop at this roadside bar. The mix of Rock'n Roll and

speed Piques raised among many followers of Norton, Triumph, Velocette BSA or

with its consequent skidding, overtaking the "wrong side", contusions and

inevitable casualties on the slippery asphalt London. The B.S.A. Gold Star

became a reference point.

Live music and decoration were merged in

a car shop-factory caf? giving you the opportunity of being in one of the

coolest place ever and off course have to change to enjoy a cool beer or a good

club sandwich. Once again, if you like car or bikes and have the chance to be in

London for at least one night, this place is an obligated stop on your

itinerary.
