Bar Refrigeration / Back Bar

This range covers 120 back bar refrigeration units for pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants and bars, in glass door and solid door configurations with single, double and triple door layouts, from Skope, Polar and Thermaster.

Door count is the first decision, because it sets both bottle capacity and the length of bar the unit occupies, so measure the back bar run before choosing. Glass doors display the product and let staff find a line without opening the cabinet, while solid doors hold temperature better and suit storage rather than display. Swing doors need clearance in front, which matters in a narrow service well. Check the ventilation direction as well, since a unit built into a joinery run needs airflow that is not blocked by the cabinetry.

Back bar cooler care and longevity

• Clean condenser coils monthly: Bar environments are dusty and damp — monthly maintenance keeps compressors alive.
• Check door seals weekly: Heavy bar use accelerates seal wear; replace at first sign of failure.
• Don't overload the bottle stock: Restricted airflow creates warm zones — beer at 8°C ferments in days.
• Inspect drain pan monthly: Clogged condensate drains overflow inside the cabinet.
• Replace door bumpers before they fail: Heavy bar door use cracks the inner liner.
