IMC BM70 Glass Lid Top Loading Bottle Cooler – Underbar, 140 Bottles
£1,782.00(£2,138.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The IMC BM70 is a top-loading bottle cooler built for underbar installation in commercial bars, pubs, and hospitality venues. It holds up to 140 bottles in a vertical arrangement, accessed through a glazed sliding lid that sits flush with the bar top. It is designed specifically for operators who need chilled bottles close at hand and retrieved quickly during service, without the reach-in awkwardness of a front-opening cabinet.
In a busy bar setting, the top-loading format makes a real operational difference during a rush. Staff retrieve bottles in a single downward motion rather than bending to a front door, which is noticeably faster when orders are stacking up. The glazed lid allows bar staff to assess stock levels at a glance without opening the unit, helping to maintain a consistent internal temperature and limit unnecessary cold air loss across a long service period. The internal divider arrangement keeps different bottle types organised and easy to locate under pressure.
From a practical standpoint, the BM70 offers several advantages worth noting:
- Top-loading access reduces the time the cold seal is broken during service
- Glazed sliding lid gives clear stock visibility without opening the unit
- Vertical bottle storage makes restocking quick and straightforward
- Compatible with IMC's modular Bartender system for integration into a built bar run
- Plug-in design requires no specialist electrical installation
The unit is dimensioned for standard underbar depths and can be used as a standalone cooler or built into an IMC Bartender modular run. Optional internal baskets, dividers, and lighting are available, which can be useful in lower-light bar environments or where multiple bottle types need clear separation.
The BM70 is well suited to bars, pubs, hotel bars, and event venues where bottled drinks form a significant part of service and speed of access matters. It works particularly well where bar space is tight and a front-opening unit would create workflow problems. For very high-throughput environments such as large nightclub bars or stadium concessions, a higher-capacity unit or a multi-unit configuration may be worth considering.
If you're weighing up whether the BM70 suits your bar layout or expected service volume, we're happy to talk it through before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the BM70 suitable for a high-volume bar running extended service hours?
The BM70 is well suited to busy bars and pub environments where bottled drinks account for a significant share of sales. For very high-throughput sites — large nightclub bars, stadium concessions, or festival operations running continuous service — it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit or a multi-unit configuration would serve you better.
Can the BM70 be integrated into an existing bar counter or must it be freestanding?
The BM70 is dimensioned for standard underbar depths and can be used as a standalone unit or built into an IMC Bartender modular run. If you are planning a built bar installation, it is worth confirming the surrounding counter dimensions and ventilation clearances before ordering.
What electrical supply does the BM70 require?
The BM70 is a plug-in unit, so it does not require hardwired electrical installation. A standard commercial power supply is sufficient, which keeps initial setup straightforward for most bar environments.
