Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The fan-assisted cooling system helps the unit recover after repeated door openings, making it practical for moderately busy bar service. For very high-volume venues where the doors are in near-constant use throughout service, a unit with a larger compressor capacity may maintain temperatures more comfortably — it is worth discussing your expected throughput with us before purchasing.
- The unit runs on a standard UK mains supply and does not require any specialist electrical installation. It is important to ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet, as restricted airflow will reduce efficiency and can shorten the lifespan of the refrigeration components. At 60kg, positioning the unit should be treated as a two-person task.
- The unit will operate in typical bar environments, but ambient temperature and ventilation do affect performance. In particularly warm or enclosed spaces, the compressor has to work harder to maintain the set temperature, which increases energy use and places more load on the refrigeration components over time. If your bar area runs warm, it is worth factoring that into your choice of unit.
