Tucked away in the West Lancashire countryside, Area 51 Coffee in Ormskirk (Scarisbrick), North West, has rapidly become a must-visit destination for those who prefer their caffeine with a side of the extraordinary. This quirky, sci-fi-themed café isn’t just a hit with families and UFO enthusiasts; it has firmly established itself as a premier destination for the regional biking community.
What makes Area 51 Coffee so motorcycle friendly? For starters, the location on Southport Road offers a perfect pit-stop on the popular riding routes between Liverpool and Southport. The venue boasts ample, flat parking, ensuring riders can secure their bikes with ease. Beyond the practicalities, the atmosphere is inherently welcoming to the “two-wheeled” crowd. The owner, Ian, is known for hosting dedicated bike nights where the car park transforms into a chrome-filled social hub. Inside, the climate-controlled “Boeing 737 room” and the decommissioned nuclear warhead provide a backdrop that is far more interesting than your standard roadside greasy spoon.
Furthermore, Area 51 Coffee is a proud participant in the Bike and Brew Passport event for 2026. This national initiative, run by the charity Make Your Mark, encourages riders to explore new independent cafés while raising money for mental health awareness. By visiting Area 51 Coffee, bikers can get their passports stamped, bringing them one step closer to entering the grand prize draw, which this year features four brand-new motorcycles.
Whether you are seeking a speciality flat white or a photo op with an alien, this café delivers. Its commitment to the biking community and its role in the Bike and Brew Passport make it a standout stop in the Northwest.
