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.
£454.00(£544.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series double door back bar cooler is a solid door undercounter refrigeration unit designed to keep bottled drinks and bar ingredients at a consistent serving temperature throughout the working day. With 198 litres of usable internal space across four adjustable shelves, it provides practical chilled storage for high-turnover stock positioned directly behind the bar.
In a busy service environment — a hotel bar, a pub or a restaurant — a back bar cooler is opened repeatedly during peak periods. The G-Series is built to handle that pattern. The refrigeration system maintains a stable temperature range even with regular door openings, and recovery after access is reliable. The steel construction is hardwearing and suited to the demands of daily commercial use without requiring excessive maintenance to keep in good order.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:
- Four adjustable shelves allow flexible stock organisation to suit different bottle formats
- Simple digital controls make temperature management straightforward for bar staff
- Door locks on both doors allow the unit to be secured at the end of service
- Energy rating A helps keep running costs reasonable for a unit in near-constant use
- R600a refrigerant offers an efficient and environmentally considerate cooling medium
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard 230V single-phase supply and is designed to sit under or behind a bar counter. At 62kg, positioning and levelling should be planned before installation, particularly in tighter back bar configurations. The climate class 4 rating means it is suited to warmer ambient environments such as busy bar areas. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation — restricting airflow will affect performance and longevity.
This cooler is well suited to small to mid-sized bars, hotel bar areas, and restaurant beverage stations where consistent chilled storage is needed at the point of service. It is not intended as a high-volume bulk storage unit. For sites with significantly higher throughput or where greater capacity is needed, a larger model would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this capacity matches your expected service volume or back bar layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£454.00(£544.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a two-door under-counter refrigeration unit designed for storing bottles, mixers, garnishes and other bar essentials at a consistent serving temperature. With solid lockable doors and four adjustable shelves, it provides secure, well-organised storage without the visual clutter of a glass-door display unit — useful in back-bar positions where presentation is less of a priority than practicality.
In a busy bar environment, consistent temperature recovery matters. The G-Series is built to maintain its operating range throughout a service period, including in ambient conditions up to 32°C — making it a reasonable choice for warm bar environments or kitchens where the surrounding temperature can climb during peak hours. The digital control panel gives a constant temperature readout without requiring staff to open the doors, which helps maintain stable internal conditions during busy periods.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Solid lockable doors help manage stock security and reduce temperature fluctuation from casual browsing
- Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle heights and container sizes
- Digital display allows temperature monitoring without breaking the cold chain
- Painted steel construction is straightforward to wipe down between services
- R600a refrigerant and an A energy rating keep running costs relatively low for a unit in near-continuous use
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it requires a standard 230V connection and sufficient clearance for ventilation. At 62kg it can typically be positioned by two people, and its 520mm depth makes it a practical fit in tighter back-bar configurations. It is not intended for ambient temperatures above 32°C, so very hot kitchen-adjacent locations should be assessed carefully before installation.
This unit is well suited to pubs, bars, hotels and hospitality venues needing reliable, secure cold storage at the point of service. It works particularly well where a glass-door display is unnecessary — storeroom fridges, prep areas or lower counter positions. For higher-volume sites or operations requiring greater bottle capacity, a larger or higher-specification model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to an order.
£534.00(£640.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a three-door, under-counter refrigeration unit designed to keep bottled and canned drinks chilled and accessible throughout service. The sliding door configuration is a practical choice where bar space is tight — unlike hinged doors, sliding panels require no swing clearance in front of the unit, making the cabinet easier to position in confined back bar areas without disrupting staff movement behind the counter.
In a busy bar environment, consistent temperature holding and reliable access are the two things that matter most in a bottle cooler. The G-Series is built for frequent opening throughout service, with commercial-grade construction that holds temperature reliably in ambient conditions up to 32°C — relevant for busy venues where kitchen or bar areas can run warm. LED lighting keeps the interior visible and the display looking presentable without adding meaningful heat load. The digital thermostat allows straightforward temperature adjustment without requiring manual calibration.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of practical day-to-day advantages:
- Sliding doors allow access without requiring clearance space in front of the unit
- LED interior lighting keeps stock visible and presentable throughout service
- Painted steel construction is robust and straightforward to wipe down
- R600a refrigerant is environmentally efficient and commonly specified in commercial bar refrigeration
- Digital thermostat provides consistent, easy-to-manage temperature control
Installation is straightforward — the unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires no water connection or specialist ventilation beyond reasonable clearance around the cabinet. At 78kg, it is manageable to position but will need two people to move safely. The 520mm depth fits most standard back bar configurations, though it is worth measuring your available run carefully before ordering, particularly if the unit needs to sit flush within an existing counter build.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, hotels, and event venues that need reliable chilled drink storage within arm's reach of the service point. It handles a solid range of bottles and cans comfortably for moderate-volume operations. For higher-volume sites — particularly those running continuous service across multiple tills — a larger or higher-capacity unit may be worth considering to avoid restocking too frequently during peak periods.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£413.00(£495.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is an under-counter bottle and can refrigeration unit designed for front-of-house use in bars, pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues. It operates across a temperature range suited to chilled drink service and uses double-glazed hinged glass doors to allow customers and staff to view the contents without compromising internal temperature stability.
In a busy bar environment where the doors are opened and closed repeatedly throughout service, the fan-assisted cooling system helps the unit recover quickly and maintain consistent temperatures. The double glazing reduces thermal transfer, which is particularly useful in warmer or poorly ventilated bar areas. LED interior lighting keeps the display clear and draws attention to the product range without adding significant heat load to the cabinet.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of practical advantages for bar operators:
- Fan-assisted cooling supports stable temperatures even under frequent door opening
- Double-glazed doors reduce condensation and thermal loss during peak service
- LED lighting keeps displays visible and runs efficiently over long service hours
- Digital temperature controls allow straightforward adjustment without specialist knowledge
- Painted steel construction is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial use
The unit is designed to sit under a bar counter and requires a standard mains supply. It uses R600a refrigerant, which has a low environmental impact. The footprint suits most standard under-counter bar installations, though it is worth confirming that adequate ventilation is available around the unit, as restricted airflow will affect efficiency and longevity. At 60kg, installation is a two-person job.
This cooler is well suited to small to medium-volume bars and hospitality outlets where presentation matters and throughput is steady rather than very high. For venues with significantly higher volume demands or where a larger bottle capacity is needed across extended service periods, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£554.00(£664.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series triple door back bar cooler is a forced-air refrigeration unit designed for front-of-house installation behind a bar counter. With three solid doors and a 320-litre interior, it provides substantial chilled storage for bottled drinks, canned stock, and other bar essentials, keeping them within easy reach throughout service.
Forced-air circulation distributes cold air evenly across the full cabinet width, which matters most when all three sections are being accessed repeatedly during a busy service. Recovery after door opening is consistent, meaning product temperatures hold steady rather than creeping up as the shift progresses. The digital temperature control allows staff to monitor and adjust settings from the front panel without opening the doors, which is a practical advantage in a working bar environment.
From an operational standpoint, this unit suits bar environments well for several reasons:
- Solid doors reduce ambient light exposure and help retain cold air between openings
- The black steel exterior integrates neatly into most back bar layouts without drawing attention
- Digital controls reduce the likelihood of accidental temperature drift during service
- R600a refrigerant contributes to a reasonable energy footprint for a unit of this capacity
- The interior is straightforward to wipe down, with no complex shelving arrangements to work around
Installation requires a standard 13-amp socket and adequate ventilation clearance around the unit — particularly at the rear and top. With a climate class 4 rating, it is suited to warmer ambient conditions such as those found in a busy bar or club environment. At 80kg, positioning will require two people and consideration of floor surface and access routes before delivery. It is designed to sit under or alongside a bar counter rather than in a kitchen preparation area.
This unit is well suited to pubs, bars, hotels, and clubs needing reliable high-volume chilled storage at the point of service. It works best where solid doors are preferred for temperature retention over the visibility of a glass door display. Operators with particularly high throughput requirements, or those needing a larger footprint, may find a higher-capacity model better fits their service demands.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your bar layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.
£343.00(£411.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a single-door under-counter bottle chiller designed for front-of-house use in bars, cafés, and hospitality venues. It holds bottled and canned drinks at a consistent serving temperature and presents them through a clear hinged glass door, making it practical for both storage and merchandising without requiring a separate display unit.
In a busy bar environment, reliable temperature holding through a service period matters more than headline specs. This unit maintains a stable 2°C to 8°C range throughout operation and uses an auto defrost cycle to prevent ice build-up — reducing the manual intervention that can otherwise interrupt service. The LED interior lighting keeps stock clearly visible during a busy shift without adding unnecessary heat load to the cabinet.
For operators weighing up day-to-day practicalities, the key advantages are:
- Hinged glass door allows quick stock checks without fully opening the cabinet
- Auto defrost reduces routine maintenance demands during service
- LED lighting improves drink visibility without generating excess heat
- Painted steel construction is straightforward to wipe down at the end of service
- R600a refrigerant operates efficiently in ambient conditions up to 38°C
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard 13A mains socket and adequate clearance around the cabinet for ventilation — check the manufacturer's clearance guidelines before positioning against a wall or in a tight underbar run. At 48kg, it can typically be positioned by two people without specialist lifting equipment.
This cooler is well suited to smaller bars, hotel room service areas, café counters, or as a secondary chiller for bottled soft drinks and beers. For venues serving at higher volume or needing greater capacity across a longer bar, a larger or multi-door model would be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this capacity suits your layout or typical covers, we're happy to talk it through before you order.
£605.00(£726.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series Slimline Upright Back Bar Cooler is a single-door, freestanding bottle refrigerator designed to sit behind the bar and keep bottled and canned drinks at a consistent, ready-to-serve temperature throughout service. Its notably narrow width makes it a practical option in bar runs where a standard-footprint unit simply would not fit, without asking operators to accept a serious reduction in usable storage.
In practice, the fan-assisted cooling system does the work that matters most in a busy bar environment — maintaining stable temperatures across repeated door openings during a full evening service. The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, which covers the majority of UK licensed premises including those with limited ventilation behind the bar. Double-glazed glass doors support thermal retention over the course of a long service week, which keeps running costs reasonable for a unit that is likely to be in near-continuous use.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G-Series is straightforward to run:
- LED internal lighting makes stock immediately visible to bar staff without opening the door
- Simple dial controls minimise training time and reduce the risk of accidental temperature adjustment
- Fan-assisted cooling maintains consistent temperatures during high-frequency door openings
- Painted steel and glass construction holds up well under the demands of daily commercial use
- The slimline profile integrates into bar runs where space is genuinely limited
Installation requires only a standard UK mains connection, and the unit is freestanding so no fixed plumbing or specialist fitting is needed. At 71kg, it is worth confirming the floor surface can take the load, and that there is adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — particularly in enclosed bar units where airflow can be restricted. The unit runs on R600a refrigerant, which is standard at this class.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, hotel bars, licensed cafés, and similar venues where chilled drinks are central to the offer but back-bar space is at a premium. It performs reliably in moderate to high-throughput settings. For very high-volume venues with heavy stock rotation, a larger-capacity model from the range may be worth considering; equally, quieter operations with lower turnover may find a smaller unit more cost-effective to run.
If you are working through a bar refit or are not certain this model is the right fit for your layout and service pattern, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you make a decision.
£423.00(£507.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a single-door under-counter refrigerator designed to store and display bottled and canned drinks at the point of service. Built for placement behind or beneath a bar counter, it keeps contents chilled and visible without requiring staff to leave the service area. The hinged double-glazed glass door allows customers and staff to see the stock at a glance, which supports faster service and helps with stock rotation.
In a busy bar or pub environment, reliable temperature holding is more important than it might seem. This unit is rated to maintain temperature in ambient conditions up to 32°C, which matters in venues where kitchen heat or summer trading can push room temperatures up. The R600a refrigerant system is a common choice for units of this type — efficient and well-suited to the duty cycle of a bar cooler that's opened regularly throughout a shift. LED lighting keeps the interior well illuminated without generating significant heat or adding meaningfully to running costs.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Adjustable shelving to accommodate different bottle heights and formats
- Digital temperature controls for straightforward monitoring and adjustment
- Stainless steel exterior that wipes down quickly during and after service
- Lockable door to support stock control in high-footfall venues
- Low-profile under-counter footprint that fits neatly into most bar builds
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13-amp socket and adequate ventilation around the cabinet. As with all refrigeration, it should not be positioned directly against a wall with no rear clearance, and it should not be placed adjacent to heat sources such as glasswashers or ovens. At 48kg it is manageable to position during a fit-out, though the exact placement should be confirmed before installation given the fixed plinth height of most bar counters.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, cafés, and smaller hotel bars where a single-door under-counter unit handles the volume. It holds up to 108 standard 330ml bottles, which is a reasonable working stock for a moderate-volume bar. For high-volume venues or those requiring a larger chilled display, a wider or multi-door alternative may be worth considering. Equally, if the primary need is for wine or a mixed ambient range, it is worth discussing whether a different product type would serve better.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or fits your bar configuration, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£403.00(£483.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a double-glazed sliding door drinks chiller designed for behind-the-bar use in pubs, bars, hotels and similar licensed venues. It holds chilled bottles and cans within a temperature range suited to draught and packaged drink service, keeping stock visible, accessible and at a consistent serving temperature throughout the shift.
The sliding door configuration is a practical choice wherever back bar space is tight. Because neither door swings outward, staff can access stock without needing clearance in front of the unit — useful in narrow bar runs where a hinged door would obstruct movement or create a hazard during busy service. Four adjustable interior shelves allow stock to be organised by product type or rotation preference, and the LED interior lighting makes it straightforward for staff to locate and retrieve bottles quickly during peak periods.
From an operational standpoint, this unit is built with the demands of regular daily use in mind. Key practical points include:
- Sliding doors reduce the risk of accidental contact in confined back bar environments
- Front-mounted digital controls allow temperature checks and adjustments without moving the unit
- LED lighting supports product visibility while keeping running costs lower than fluorescent alternatives
- Painted steel construction is durable under the cleaning and handling typical of bar environments
- R600a refrigerant offers reasonable energy efficiency for a unit of this class
Installation is relatively straightforward — this is a self-contained unit requiring a standard UK mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet. At 60kg it is manageable to position but does require two people to move safely. The 520mm depth means it will fit most standard back bar counters, though it is worth confirming the available run width before ordering given the 900mm footprint. It is not designed for built-in recessed installation.
This cooler is well suited to small to mid-volume licensed premises where back bar space is at a premium and presentation of chilled product matters. Sites with very high bottle turnover or a requirement to chill a wider variety of formats may find a larger-capacity unit a better fit. For lower-volume requirements or where space is more constrained, a smaller single-door alternative is worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your bar layout or expected throughput, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£554.00(£664.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a three-door undercounter refrigeration unit designed specifically for bars, pubs, and licensed venues where bottled and canned drinks need to be kept cold, visible, and accessible throughout service. Sliding doors rather than hinged ones are the defining practical feature here — in a tight bar environment, they allow staff to access stock without the door swinging into a colleague or a customer standing at the counter.
In terms of day-to-day performance, this unit is built for the kind of repeated access that a busy bar demands. The G-Series range is rated to maintain temperature in ambient conditions up to 32°C, which matters in venues where kitchen heat, body heat, and poor ventilation can push the surrounding temperature well above what domestic or light-commercial units are designed to cope with. Four adjustable shelves give reasonable flexibility for mixed bottle and can formats, and the double-glazed self-closing doors help the cabinet recover quickly after each opening without running the compressor unnecessarily hard.
Practical advantages that operators tend to notice in use:
- Sliding doors eliminate clearance issues in narrow back bar configurations
- LED interior lighting keeps stock visible and draws customer attention to the display without adding heat
- Self-closing double-glazed doors reduce cold loss between openings
- Adjustable shelving adapts to different bottle heights and stock mixes
- R600a refrigerant keeps running costs lower than older refrigerant systems
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard 13A socket, sits on a flat, level surface, and the 520mm depth means it fits comfortably beneath most standard bar counters. At 80kg it will need two people to position safely. Ventilation clearance at the rear and sides should be observed — check the installation guide for the specific clearances required. This unit is not designed for outdoor use or unventilated enclosures.
This cooler suits medium-volume bars, hotel bars, and licensed cafés where a three-door capacity covers the range of products on offer without overstretching the footprint. For very high-volume venues — late-night bars or festival operations where stock turnover is extremely rapid — a larger or more heavily specified unit may be worth considering. Equally, smaller venues with a limited drinks range may find a single- or two-door model more appropriate for the space.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or bar layout, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£393.00(£471.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is an under-counter bottle refrigerator designed to keep chilled drinks within easy reach of bar staff during service. With a single hinged glass door and a usable capacity suited to a working bar environment, it sits neatly beneath a counter and allows staff to see stock levels at a glance without opening the unit.
In a bar or hospitality setting, this type of unit earns its place by keeping frequently poured bottles and cans at a consistent serving temperature throughout the shift. The auto defrost function reduces the manual maintenance burden on staff, and the integral temperature controller allows straightforward adjustment without specialist knowledge. The R600a refrigerant is a low-global-warming-potential option increasingly common in modern bar refrigeration.
Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:
- Glass hinged door gives immediate visibility of stock without opening
- Auto defrost reduces staff maintenance requirements between service periods
- Integral temperature controller keeps settings stable and simple to adjust
- Compact under-counter footprint integrates with most standard bar configurations
- Painted steel construction is straightforward to wipe down during daily cleaning
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A mains socket and no specialist connection. At 46kg it can typically be positioned by two people without lifting equipment, though clearance around the unit for ventilation should be confirmed before siting. It operates within a 2°C to 8°C range, which covers standard chilled drinks service but is not suitable for storing items requiring temperatures below 2°C.
This cooler is well suited to smaller bars, hotel room service stations, café counters, and back-bar positions with moderate daily throughput. For busier multi-till operations or venues with significantly higher bottle turnover, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering to avoid restocking too frequently during service.
If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume or you want to talk through where it would work best in your bar layout, the team is happy to help.
£1,210.00(£1,452.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 490-litre upright back bar cooler is a double-door refrigerated display cabinet designed to keep bottled and canned drinks at consistent serving temperature while remaining visible and accessible to bar staff throughout service. The sliding door configuration — rather than the more common swing-out doors — is the defining practical feature here, and it matters considerably in tighter bar environments where swing clearance is limited or where staff are working in a confined space behind the counter.
In a busy bar setting, this unit is built to handle continuous access throughout a service period. Fan-assisted cooling maintains even temperature distribution across all eight adjustable shelves, which helps ensure drinks stored at the back of the cabinet cool as reliably as those at the front. The unit is rated to maintain temperature in ambient conditions up to 32°C, which makes it a reasonable choice for bars without air conditioning or those in warmer locations. LED lighting keeps the interior well lit without generating excessive heat, which assists both product visibility and cooling efficiency.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:
- Sliding doors free up counter and floor space in confined back bar layouts
- Eight adjustable shelves allow flexible organisation around bottle heights and product mix
- Double-glazed doors support temperature retention when the unit is opened frequently
- Digital temperature controls make it straightforward to monitor and adjust settings during service
- LED interior lighting improves product visibility without adding meaningfully to running costs
Installation is straightforward relative to many refrigeration units — this is a freestanding cabinet requiring a standard single-phase power connection and reasonable ventilation clearance around the unit. At 128kg it is a substantial piece of kit, so floor loading and access routes should be considered before delivery. The painted steel exterior is practical for back bar use, though it is worth noting it will show marks more readily than stainless-finished alternatives. The 514mm depth is notably slimmer than many upright refrigeration cabinets, which is often the deciding factor for operators with shallow back bar runs.
This unit is well suited to pubs, bars, hotels, and event venues where a high volume of bottled and canned drinks needs to be stored in a single accessible cabinet with good product visibility. It sits in the mid-range of back bar refrigeration — operations running at very high volume across extended hours, or those needing to store kegs or oversized bottles, may find a higher-capacity or heavier-duty unit more appropriate. Equally, smaller venues with limited throughput may not need a cabinet of this size.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet suits your back bar layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to anything.
£534.00(£640.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a three-door, under-counter bottle fridge designed for busy licensed premises. It holds up to 180 standard 330ml bottles or around 95 cans, making it a practical choice for bars, pubs, and hospitality venues that need to keep a meaningful volume of chilled product within easy reach of the service point.
In a working bar environment, this unit earns its place through consistent temperature performance. Operating between 2°C and 8°C, it holds its working temperature reliably in ambient conditions up to 32°C — which matters in a packed venue during a busy service. The hinged glass doors allow staff to see at a glance what needs replenishing, and double-glazed panels help the unit maintain temperature without working harder than it needs to.
From an operational standpoint, the G-Series offers a number of practical advantages:
- LED interior lighting keeps the display visible without adding heat load
- Six adjustable shelves allow flexible stock arrangement across bottles, cans, and cartons
- Double-glazed doors improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs over time
- Painted steel construction is built to withstand repeated daily access
- R600a refrigerant keeps the environmental impact of the unit low
At 1350mm wide and 520mm deep, the unit is designed to sit within a standard back bar configuration without requiring significant structural adaptation. That said, at 78kg it will need adequate floor support and enough clearance around the condenser for airflow — worth confirming before installation, particularly in tight back bar builds. This is a freestanding unit and does not require a dedicated drainage connection in standard use.
The G-Series is well suited to bars, pubs, and café-bars with moderate to high bottle turnover where a reliable, well-lit display cooler is needed at the point of service. It is particularly practical for operators with limited back bar space who still need meaningful chilled storage capacity. For venues with very high-volume throughput or where the unit will be under near-constant access throughout service, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity or more heavy-duty configuration would be a better long-term fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or back bar layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£1,267.00(£1,520.40 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series upright back bar cooler is a double-door refrigerated display unit designed to keep bottled drinks and cans at a consistent serving temperature while keeping them visible and accessible to staff. With a 490-litre capacity across two hinged sections, it sits comfortably behind a bar counter and is sized to hold meaningful stock for a busy service without requiring constant restocking runs.
In a working bar environment, consistent temperature recovery matters. The G-Series is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which makes it suitable for venues where the bar area warms up during a busy evening. The double-glazed doors help maintain cabinet temperature when staff are accessing stock frequently, and the unit holds its operating range reliably through peak service periods. LED lighting keeps the display clear and attractive without generating excessive heat inside the cabinet.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages for bar and hospitality teams:
- Lockable hinged doors allow the unit to be secured during closed hours or unattended periods
- Adjustable shelving across the interior allows flexible configuration for different bottle sizes and can formats
- Rear-mounted rollers make repositioning and cleaning behind the unit straightforward
- LED interior lighting provides good product visibility without contributing to internal heat build-up
- R600a refrigerant supports efficient running costs relative to older refrigerant types
This is a freestanding unit that requires a standard mains electrical connection. At 125kg, it will need adequate flooring support and sufficient clearance at the rear for ventilation. The footprint is relatively narrow in depth at just over 500mm, which suits back bar installations where space behind the counter is limited. It is not designed for recessed or built-in fitting, so factor in access around the unit when planning placement.
The G-Series 490Ltr is well suited to pubs, bars, hotel bars, and similar licensed premises where chilled drinks need to be visually merchandised and quickly accessible during service. It works particularly well in venues that want a presentable back bar display without investing in a larger multi-section unit. For higher-volume sites serving very large covers or operating extended trading hours, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a triple hinged-door bottle chiller designed for front-of-house display and service. Built into a painted steel cabinet, it holds a substantial number of bottles across six adjustable shelves, keeping contents chilled and visible behind double-glazed glass doors. It operates using R600a refrigerant, which runs quietly and efficiently, and maintains a temperature range suited to chilled drinks service throughout the trading day.
In busy bar environments, consistent temperature and reliable recovery are what matter most. The G-Series is designed to hold its chill even during peak service when doors are opened frequently, and the 32°C ambient rating means it can cope with warmer back bar environments without the unit struggling. The LED interior lighting keeps bottles clearly visible without generating the heat that older fluorescent fittings tend to add to the cabinet load.
From an operational standpoint, this unit brings several practical advantages to bar teams:
- Six adjustable shelves allow flexible configuration for different bottle heights and formats
- Double-glazed doors reduce cold loss and condensation on the glass during service
- Energy-efficient LED lighting keeps running costs lower than traditional strip lighting
- Hinged doors provide full-width access for rapid restocking during service breaks
- User-friendly controls mean staff can monitor and adjust settings without specialist knowledge
Installation is straightforward for most back bar setups. The unit is freestanding and requires a standard mains supply. At 80kg it will need two people to position safely, and adequate clearance at the rear and sides should be maintained for ventilation. The 1350mm width means it occupies a meaningful run of back bar space, so it is worth confirming the available footprint before ordering.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, and hospitality venues with a consistent demand for chilled bottles throughout service. It works particularly well where bottles need to be on display as well as kept cold. For lower-volume operations or tighter spaces, a smaller two-door alternative may be more appropriate, while very high-throughput venues running extended hours may benefit from a heavier-duty commercial specification.

£534.00(£640.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a double-door undercounter refrigerator designed for front-of-house use in bars, pubs, and licensed venues. Its primary function is to keep bottled and canned drinks at consistent serving temperature while remaining visible and accessible to bar staff throughout service. With a stainless steel exterior and double-glazed hinged doors, it is built to handle the repeated opening and closing that comes with a busy bar environment.
In practice, this unit performs reliably during sustained service periods. The R600a refrigerant system maintains temperature between 2°C and 8°C and is rated to operate in ambient conditions up to 32°C — a useful characteristic in kitchens and bar areas that can warm up quickly during a busy shift. LED internal lighting keeps the contents clearly visible without contributing unnecessary heat or running costs.
For bar operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Double-glazed doors reduce temperature loss each time the unit is opened
- LED lighting improves bottle visibility without generating heat
- Stainless steel construction is straightforward to wipe down and resists surface damage
- Digital controls allow staff to monitor and adjust temperature without specialist knowledge
- The undercounter footprint fits neatly beneath a standard bar counter without disrupting workflow
Installation is uncomplicated — the unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance around the ventilation points to maintain efficiency. It is worth confirming that your bar layout allows sufficient airflow at the rear or sides before positioning the unit against a wall or in a confined run. At 62kg, it can be moved into position by two people without specialist equipment.
This cooler is well suited to small to medium-volume bars, hotel bars, and venues serving a steady throughput of bottled drinks. It holds up to 180 standard 330ml bottles, which suits moderate service demands well. For higher-volume sites — such as large nightclubs or festival concessions — a larger-capacity model may be worth considering to reduce restocking frequency during peak periods.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your expected throughput or bar layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.
£413.00(£495.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is an under-counter bottle fridge designed for bars and hospitality venues where display and speed of service matter. It holds up to 180 x 330ml bottles across four adjustable shelves, keeping bottled and canned drinks consistently chilled and visible to customers. The sliding door configuration is the practical choice where swing clearance is restricted — behind a busy bar counter, sliding doors allow staff to access stock without disrupting the service flow or colliding with neighbouring units.
In a working bar environment, this unit holds temperature reliably across the full working shift. The double-glazed sliding doors help maintain the cabinet temperature during frequent access, and the LED interior lighting keeps the contents well lit without generating unnecessary heat or adding to running costs. The painted steel construction is straightforward to wipe down and practical to maintain — an important consideration where bar staff are cleaning down at the end of each service.
Key operational features worth noting:
- Sliding doors eliminate swing clearance issues in tight back bar layouts
- Four adjustable shelves accommodate different bottle and can formats
- LED lighting improves product visibility without contributing to heat load
- Self-closing double-glazed doors support temperature retention between uses
- R600a refrigerant offers a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types
At 520mm deep, this unit is shallower than many equivalent models, which makes it particularly useful where back bar depth is limited. It runs on a standard 230V supply with no special electrical requirements, and at 62kg it can be positioned by two people without specialist installation. It is worth confirming that ambient temperature in the installation area does not regularly exceed 38°C — performance can be affected in poorly ventilated or very warm spaces.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, café-bars, and smaller hospitality venues serving bottled and canned drinks at moderate volume. For higher-volume operations serving across multiple points or requiring greater bottle capacity, a larger-footprint model from the range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£706.00(£847.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series three-door back bar cooler is a stainless steel undercounter display refrigerator designed to hold chilled bottles and canned drinks at the point of service. It sits behind the bar, keeps product at a consistent 2°C to 8°C, and presents its contents through double-glazed glass doors with internal LED lighting — giving staff and customers clear visibility without the need to open the unit unnecessarily.
In a busy bar environment, a back bar cooler earns its keep during peak service when staff are pulling from it repeatedly throughout an evening. The G-Series is built with that kind of sustained use in mind. Its commercial-grade compressor maintains stable temperatures in ambient conditions up to 32°C, which matters in enclosed or poorly ventilated back-bar areas that can heat up significantly during service. The unit holds chilled stock reliably without struggling in warmer surroundings.
From an operational standpoint, the G-Series offers several practical advantages for bar teams:
- Double-glazed hinged doors reduce heat ingress and help keep running costs down
- LED internal lighting improves product visibility without adding heat load
- Digital temperature controls are straightforward to set and monitor
- Stainless steel exterior is durable and easy to wipe down at the end of service
- R600a refrigerant contributes to a lower environmental impact over the unit's working life
At 1350mm wide, this unit requires a reasonable run of back bar space, and at 80kg it is a two-person installation job. The hinged door configuration means you will need adequate clearance in front of the unit — typically around 600mm — for doors to open fully during service. It connects to a standard UK mains supply, so electrical installation is straightforward, but confirming the existing circuit capacity before positioning the unit is always worthwhile. This model is suited to ground-level installation and is not designed for stacking.
The G-Series in this configuration suits bars, pubs, clubs, and hospitality venues where a medium-capacity chilled bottle display is needed behind the counter. It is well suited to sites serving a consistent but not exceptionally high volume — a venue turning over stock rapidly across multiple service points may benefit from a higher-capacity unit instead. For smaller bar set-ups with tighter counter runs, a narrower single- or double-door alternative may be more practical.
If you are weighing this up against the demands of your specific bar layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£786.00(£943.20 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 307-litre upright back bar cooler is a single-door, freestanding bottle refrigeration unit designed to keep chilled drinks displayed, accessible, and ready to serve throughout a busy service. The glazed hinged door allows customers and staff to see the contents at a glance, while interior LED lighting makes the display effective even in low-ambient-light environments typical of pubs and bars.
Built for frequent access during peak service, the G-Series uses hard-wearing painted steel construction and is rated to maintain its temperature range in ambient conditions up to 32°C — a practical consideration for bar environments where heat from lighting, equipment, and footfall can push ambient temperatures up. The unit holds temperature consistently throughout service without requiring manual intervention, and its R600a refrigerant contributes to relatively efficient running costs for a unit of this class.
From an operational standpoint, this cooler offers several practical advantages for bar and pub environments:
- Adjustable shelving accommodates a range of bottle heights and can be reconfigured as your product mix changes
- Double-glazed door reduces heat ingress and helps maintain temperature when the door is closed
- Lockable door keeps stock secure outside of service hours
- LED interior lighting improves visibility and merchandising without generating significant heat inside the cabinet
- Rear-mounted rollers allow the unit to be moved for cleaning without fully emptying or disconnecting
Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard UK 13-amp socket and sufficient clearance around the cabinet for ventilation. At 98kg, it will need at least two people to position safely. The footprint is suited to back bar placement in most licensed premises, though in very tight bar builds it is worth confirming the depth and door-swing clearance before ordering. This is a painted steel unit rather than stainless, which is worth noting if the installation environment is exposed to heavy moisture.
The G-Series 307-litre cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, cafés, and small hotels where a single chilled display unit covers the main bottled drinks range. It handles regular daily access without difficulty. For operators running higher-volume sites or needing to merchandise across a wider range, a larger-capacity unit may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service volume, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£413.00(£495.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a double-door under-counter refrigerator designed to keep bottled drinks chilled and accessible directly at the point of service. With hinged glazed doors and internal LED lighting, the cabinet is built to hold chilled stock within easy reach of bar staff without requiring a trip to a separate cold room or walk-in. It operates within a temperature range suited to bottled beers, lagers, soft drinks, and mixers, making it a practical fixture behind a busy bar counter.
In a working bar environment, reliable temperature recovery matters. The G-Series is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which is relevant in busy licensed venues where heat from staff activity and surrounding equipment can affect undercounter refrigeration. Double-glazed doors help maintain internal temperature when the unit is opened frequently during service, reducing the load on the refrigeration system and helping maintain consistent chill throughout a session.
Practically, the unit offers several operational advantages for bar settings:
- Hinged glazed doors allow staff to quickly locate and retrieve bottles without prolonged searching
- LED lighting keeps the cabinet contents visible without generating excessive heat internally
- Digital temperature controls allow straightforward monitoring and adjustment
- The painted steel cabinet is well suited to under-counter installation in standard bar fit-outs
- R600a refrigerant supports efficient running at low ambient noise levels
The unit requires a standard single-phase mains connection and is designed to fit within a standard under-counter space. At 62kg it can be positioned by two people, though access to the rear for ventilation clearance should be considered during installation planning. This is a freestanding unit and does not require plumbing.
The G-Series cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, cafés, and small licensed venues with moderate throughput requirements. It works well as a primary point-of-service bottle cooler in smaller operations, or as a secondary chilled zone in larger bars. For venues with high-volume service across multiple stations, a larger-capacity or multi-section configuration may be worth considering.
If you're fitting out a new bar or replacing existing back bar refrigeration, the team is happy to talk through whether this unit matches your layout and service volume before you commit.
£373.00(£447.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series solid door back bar cooler is a compact under-counter refrigeration unit designed to keep bottles, cans and cartons chilled and within easy reach during service. Built for the demands of busy bar environments, it operates across a standard chilled temperature range and uses fan-assisted cooling to maintain consistent temperatures even in warm back bar areas — a practical consideration for venues where ambient conditions can climb during a busy evening.
In real-world bar use, the fan-assisted system helps the unit recover quickly after the door has been opened repeatedly during service. The solid door construction reduces the thermal load on the cabinet compared with glass door alternatives, which supports more stable temperatures and lower running costs over time. The A energy rating reinforces this, making it a sensible choice for operators mindful of energy overheads across a bar estate or multiple units running continuously.
Key practical advantages for bar operators include:
- Solid door keeps interior temperatures stable during high-frequency door opening
- Fan-assisted cooling supports consistent chilling across both adjustable shelves
- A-rated energy performance helps manage ongoing electricity costs
- LED interior lighting makes stock visible without adding heat to the cabinet
- Steel construction is well suited to the knocks and demands of a working bar
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It is designed to sit under a bar counter and requires a standard mains power connection. Climate Class 4 rated, it is capable of operating in ambient temperatures typical of busy bar environments. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation — restricting airflow to the condenser will affect performance and longevity. At 48kg, positioning is manageable with two people but worth planning before the unit is put into service.
This cooler is well suited to smaller bars, hotel bars, cafés and venues where a single solid door unit provides sufficient chilled capacity close to the point of service. It is not intended for high-volume bottle storage where multiple units or a larger capacity cabinet would be more appropriate. For sites with greater throughput or the need for product display, glass door or wider multi-door alternatives may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£554.00(£664.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series triple solid door back bar cooler is a freestanding refrigerated cabinet designed to store bottled drinks behind the bar at consistent serving temperatures. With three hinged solid doors across a 1350mm wide footprint, it offers generous bottle capacity without requiring a deep counter overhang, making it a practical choice for back bar setups where space runs along the wall rather than under a counter.
In a working bar environment, this unit holds temperature reliably across the full cabinet, maintaining a consistent chill from the moment service begins through to last orders. The auto defrost function reduces the need for manual intervention during busy periods, and the integral temperature controller allows staff to make straightforward adjustments without needing a service engineer. The R600a refrigerant used in this unit is a lower global warming potential option, which also tends to support quieter operation — relevant in venues where bar noise is a consideration.
Practically, the solid door design helps maintain temperature stability when the cabinet is opened and closed repeatedly during service, compared with open-front or pass-through alternatives. Key operational advantages include:
- Consistent chilled storage through high-traffic service periods
- Auto defrost reduces daily maintenance requirements
- Solid doors support temperature recovery after frequent opening
- Black finish suits front-of-house and visible back bar installations
- Climate Class 4 rating confirms suitability for warm ambient kitchen and bar environments
Installation is straightforward for most bar counters — the unit is freestanding and requires a standard 13A mains connection. At 80kg, it will need two people to position safely. The 520mm depth is relatively compact, though it is worth confirming the available floor-to-overhead clearance against the 900mm cabinet height before ordering. Ventilation clearance at the rear and sides should be maintained as per the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid heat build-up affecting performance.
This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, hotel bars, and licensed restaurants with moderate to high bottle throughput. It works particularly well in venues where a presentable back bar appearance matters alongside practical chilling capacity. For smaller bars with limited back bar space, a single or twin door version may be more appropriate, while very high-volume venues or those chilling a wide range of products simultaneously may find a larger or multi-zone unit better fits their operation.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your bar layout or service volumes, our team are happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.
£280.00(£336.00 inc VAT)
The Nisbets Essentials single door back bar cooler is a straightforward, entry-level bottle and can cooler designed to sit behind a bar counter and keep chilled drinks ready for service. It uses fan-assisted cooling to maintain a consistent internal temperature, and the adjustable shelving allows the interior to be configured around your bottle and can mix.
For low-demand bars — a small pub lounge, a café with a limited drinks range, a staff canteen, or a function room used occasionally — this unit does the job without complexity or high running costs. Fan-assisted circulation helps maintain even temperatures throughout the cabinet, which matters when staff are opening and closing the door frequently during a busy period. The LED interior lighting makes it straightforward to identify drinks quickly, even in a dimly lit bar environment.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Fan-assisted cooling supports consistent temperatures during regular door openings
- LED lighting aids visibility in low-ambient-light bar settings
- Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle heights and can formats
- Reversible door allows fitting to suit counter layout and access direction
- Simple interior design with minimal obstructions makes cleaning straightforward
Installation is uncomplicated — this is a plug-in unit requiring a standard mains socket, with no water connection or specialist ventilation work needed. That said, like all refrigeration equipment, it will need adequate clearance around the casing for air circulation, and should not be positioned directly against a wall or in an enclosed cupboard without ventilation. It is not designed for high-volume or high-ambient-temperature environments such as a busy nightclub bar or a kitchen with significant heat output nearby.
This cooler is best suited to low-throughput venues where a modest chilled drinks capacity is sufficient — a small café bar, a bed and breakfast, a village pub with limited draught lines, or a meeting room facility. For sites serving higher volumes or needing greater capacity, a larger or more commercial-grade unit would be a more appropriate choice.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your service volumes or bar layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
