BAR REFRIGERATION
Bar refrigeration is important for both bars and restaurants because beverages can be the most highly profitable items on your menu. While many beverages cost just a few cents to create, your dining customers are willing to pay $5, $10 or even more for a single cocktail or alcoholic beverage from your bar area.

To start cashing in on those profits, you'll need a series of refrigerated bar equipment. Most units are available in your choice of Black vinyl-coated steel or Stainless Steel exteriors. Black is a great choice for bars and restaurants that want a unified look that blends into the back bar space well. Stainless Steel provides an upscale, modern and sleek feel to the service area. Below is a list of the different types of bar refrigeration, and the major benefits in purchasing each type for your bar or restaurant.
BACK BAR STORAGE
  • Maximum performance in even the hottest, most humid climates
  • Hold and display wine, champagne, specialty beers not available on tap, wine coolers and non-alcoholic drinks like juice and water
  • Multiple door options available, including:
    -Glass Doors: great to showcase product and to entice customers sitting at bar area to buy
    -Solid Doors: helps to hide cluttered or under-stocked areas in refrigeration from customer view
    -Sliding Doors: great for space-conscious areas that can't afford to lose space from swing doors
    -Swing Doors: provides easy access to contents for both stocking and unloading
  • Your choice of galvanized tops (slide under existing cabinetry for a "built-in" look) or stainless steel tops (tops can be used for extra workspace)
