IMC BM70 Glass Lid Top Loading Bottle Cooler – Underbar, 140 Bottles

Product No: F73/073/SS

Product Description

The IMC BM70 is a top-loading bottle cooler designed for underbar installation in commercial bars, pubs, and hospitality venues. It holds up to 140 bottles in a vertical storage arrangement, accessed through a glazed sliding lid that sits flush with the bar top. The unit is intended for operators who need chilled bottles close to hand and served quickly during service.

In a busy bar environment, the BM70 performs well under the kind of sustained demand that comes with peak trading. The top-loading format means bottles are retrieved in a single downward motion, which is faster than reaching into a front-opening cabinet during a rush. The glazed lid allows staff to see stock levels without opening the unit, which helps maintain temperature consistency and reduces unnecessary door contact. The internal shelving and divider system keeps different bottle types organised and easy to locate under pressure.

From a practical standpoint, the BM70 offers several operational advantages worth noting:

  • Top-loading access reduces door opening time, supporting more consistent chilling
  • Glazed sliding lid allows stock visibility without breaking the cold air seal
  • Vertical bottle storage makes restocking straightforward during quieter periods
  • Compatible with IMC's modular Bartender range, allowing integration into a built bar run
  • Supplied with a standard UK 3-pin plug — no specialist electrical installation required

The BM70 is designed for underbar installation and its dimensions are intended to suit standard bar counter depths. It can be used as a standalone unit or built into an IMC Bartender modular system. Optional internal baskets, dividers, and lighting are available, which can improve organisation and visibility in lower-light bar environments. Being plug-in rather than hardwired keeps installation straightforward.

This unit is well suited to bars, pubs, hotel bars, and event venues where bottled drinks form a significant part of service output and speed of access is important. It is particularly practical where bar space is limited and a front-opening cabinet would be less convenient. For higher-volume sites — festival bars, stadium concessions, or very high-throughput nightclub environments — a larger-capacity or multi-unit setup may be worth considering.

If you're not certain whether the BM70 is the right fit for your bar configuration or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
