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.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your bar layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Is this unit suitable for a busy pub serving several hundred covers an evening?

The 490-litre capacity is well suited to a pub or bar with moderate to high drink sales, but for very high-volume venues trading across extended hours with multiple bar stations, a larger or additional unit may be more practical. It is worth discussing your typical weekly throughput with us so we can advise whether this capacity will meet your restocking pattern.

What are the installation requirements for this back bar cooler?

The unit requires a standard UK mains electrical connection and should be positioned with adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation. At 125kg fully unloaded, the floor surface needs to be level and capable of supporting the weight once stocked. It is freestanding rather than built-in, so it is not designed for recessed fitting within cabinetry.

How does the double glazing on the doors affect running costs?

Double-glazed doors reduce the rate at which cold air escapes when the doors are closed, which helps the refrigeration system maintain its set temperature with less effort between door openings. In a busy bar where staff are accessing the unit regularly throughout service, this makes a measurable difference to energy consumption over time compared to single-glazed alternatives.
