What can Back Bar Coolers do for you?
Back bar coolers are designed to maximize efficiency, speed, and presentation in busy beverage service areas. Positioned directly behind the bar, these low-profile refrigeration units store bottles, cans, kegs, and mixers at safe serving temperatures while keeping them within arm’s reach of your staff. Whether you're running a nightclub, brewpub, restaurant, or hotel bar, back bar coolers help you streamline service and keep drinks ready to pour.
Streamlined Beverage Service
With chilled storage just steps from the tap or serving station, back bar refrigerators reduce trips to the walk-in and allow bartenders to work quickly during rushes. Their compact footprint fits neatly under counters or bar tops without sacrificing capacity.
Display and Non-Display Options
Choose between glass doors for attractive product presentation or solid doors for energy efficiency and concealed storage. Glass door models include interior lighting to highlight beverages and encourage impulse orders, while solid doors keep a clean, streamlined look behind the bar.
Flexible Storage Configurations
Interior layouts include adjustable shelves to accommodate a variety of bottle and can sizes. Some models are designed to hold standard beer cases or wine bottles horizontally, while others have removable racks for extra flexibility.
Reliable Temperature Performance
Most units maintain temperatures between 33°F and 38°F to keep beer, soda, and mixers perfectly chilled. Digital controls and forced-air cooling systems ensure fast recovery and consistent refrigeration—even during peak service.
Built for Commercial Environments
Constructed with heavy-duty stainless steel or black vinyl exteriors and aluminum or stainless steel interiors, back bar coolers are built to handle the wear and tear of high-volume use. Many models include door locks, self-closing doors, and corrosion-resistant components for long-lasting performance.
