Polar G-Series Back Bar Cooler Hinged Glass Door Stainless 138Ltr

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.
