Back bar coolers and bar cabinets

Choosing a bar fridge

A bar fridge fits beneath the counter: typically 85–90 cm high, with glass or solid doors and shelves for bottles. It keeps drinks close to the bartender; glass doors show the contents without opening the fridge.

Compare the number of doors (1–3), hinged or sliding doors, and the compressor position. A left- or right-hand compressor can sit at the end of the bar rather than beneath the working area. Check suitability for warm bars, including climate class 4–5.

What to check

• Space beneath the counter: the height including feet, and the ventilation clearance needed at the rear.
• Doors: sliding doors where space behind the bar is tight; glass where customers need to see the drinks.
• Choose the compressor position to suit the bartender's working area.
• Noise level matters when guests sit close to the fridge.
• Shelf load capacity and clearance for 0.33 l cans or 0.75 l bottles.

Where to use it

For restaurant and café bars, consider a two-door glass-fronted fridge. Sliding doors suit busy clubs and narrow spaces. Where drinks do not need to be displayed, a solid door reduces heat gain.
