The Little A'Le'Inn (previously the Rachel Bar and Grill)[1] is a small bar, restaurant and motel located in Rachel, Nevada, along the Extraterrestrial Highway. The business has been running for over 20 years[2] and is frequented by visitors to the local Area 51. The business has a variety of Area 51 and UFO related merchandise for sale such as maps of the area, posters, postcards, toys, etc. and offers an "Alien Burger".

History

The inn opened circa 1989. The original owners were Joe (now deceased) and Pat Travis.[3]

In 1991 Joe and Pat wanted something unique for the Bar and Grill because they felt that "Joe and Pat's" was not exciting (according to patron Bruce Hooker). They held a contest won by Bruce Hooker with "A'le'Inn" (a play on "alien").

The current owners of the Little A'Le'Inn are Pat and her daughter Connie.[4]
