Product Description
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a single solid door undercounter refrigeration unit designed to keep bottled drinks chilled and ready to serve directly from behind the bar. Running at a consistent 2°C to 8°C, it holds up to 108 standard 330ml bottles, making it a practical choice for bars, pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues where chilled stock needs to be accessible throughout service without repeated trips to a remote cold room.
In a working bar environment, reliability during busy service periods is what matters most. The G-Series maintains stable temperatures even during peak trading when the door is opened repeatedly, and its automatic defrost function keeps the unit running efficiently without manual intervention. The R600a refrigerant supports strong energy efficiency, and the A energy rating helps to keep running costs manageable over time.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages for bar teams:
- Solid door construction helps retain cold air and reduces energy draw compared to glazed alternatives
- Integral temperature controller allows straightforward monitoring without specialist knowledge
- Black finish suits front-of-house placement where appearance matters
- Stainless steel interior supports hygiene and is straightforward to wipe down between service periods
- Compact undercounter footprint fits within most standard bar counter builds
Installation is straightforward for most licensed premises. The unit is freestanding and requires only a standard UK mains connection. At 48kg it can be manoeuvred by two people without specialist equipment, though the installation space should allow adequate ventilation around the unit — particularly at the rear and sides — to avoid heat build-up affecting performance. The climate class 4 rating means it is suited to environments up to 38°C, which covers most UK bar and hospitality settings. Venues with unusually warm back-bar areas should consider ventilation carefully before installation.
This unit is well suited to single-bar operations, smaller hospitality venues, or as a secondary chilled storage point at a satellite bar. For higher-volume venues, multi-door or larger-capacity back bar coolers may be more appropriate. If you have a back bar with sliding door requirements or different height constraints, alternative configurations are available within the range.
If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your bar layout or service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It works well as a primary bar cooler for smaller to mid-sized venues, or as a supplementary unit at a satellite bar in a larger site. For venues with very high throughput or limited restocking opportunities during service, a larger-capacity or multi-door back bar cooler may be a better fit — it's worth discussing your expected bottle turnover with us before ordering.
- The unit needs adequate clearance around the rear and sides to allow heat to dissipate from the condenser. Fitting it flush into a sealed cabinet without ventilation can reduce efficiency and affect the unit's lifespan. If your bar counter build has limited airflow, it's worth reviewing the installation space before the unit arrives.
- A solid door retains cold air more effectively than a glazed alternative, which can help reduce energy consumption and maintain more consistent internal temperatures during service. The trade-off is that staff cannot see stock levels at a glance without opening the door. For most back-bar settings where the operator already knows their product layout, the solid door is a practical and efficient choice.
