Commercial Bar Fridges

Both glass door bar fridges and solid door units will hold your drinks at temperature, however, one you can see through the door while the other is more like a conventional fridge. They’re typically different internally in terms of what you’re storing and how you store it, with glass door bar fridges being specifically designed for storing drinks like beer, soft drinks, or wine.

Bar fridges allow customers to choose their drinks, they can more easily see your selection, and they allow you to feature different products while ensuring they’re cold and ready to drink. Whether you opt for an underbench glass door fridge for craft beers or simply to store soft drinks, they’re an invaluable addition to your bar setup.

Undercounter models that maximise your space are an ideal option for smaller bars and kitchens. You can get bar fridges that are narrower, like our two-door models, or wider with three doors. To make it easy to access your stock without impeding the ability to walk past the fridge, you may want to consider a model with sliding doors rather than hinged doors.

While we don’t offer vinyl or additional lighting, many of our fridges can easily be wrapped with your own branding or logos. Stainless steel is an excellent choice for wrapping over, giving you a more personalised look if you have your glass door fridge in a more prominent position in your bar, restaurant or store.

Your fridge will need to be kept undercover and away from the elements, though some models are suitable for being kept in a beer garden kiosk. If you’re unsure which are suitable, you can refer to the detailed product information or ask our team for guidance.

We only stock the top brands in the commercial kitchen equipment industry, meaning that no matter your budget or size preferences, you’ll always be getting a great option. When it comes to popularity and our own recommendations, the likes of Polar, Thermaster and Bromic are always the top of the list for quality, energy efficiency and longevity.

The door configuration of your fridge won’t have as much of an impact on cooling performance as the type of cooling utilised does. You can get fan-forced cooling, static cooling or a combination of the two. Fan forced offers the most reliable and consistent temperature, however it can result in using more power.

Static cooling can have spots that are cooler than others, depending on your stock’s proximity to the refrigeration panel. Getting a Commercial Bar Fridge that has both will deliver even chilling, while also helping to keep running costs down with energy-efficient refrigeration.

We have a broad range of energy-efficient glass door bar fridges, including those made with more eco-friendly refrigerants like R290. Depending on how much you fill your fridge and the sizes of the bottles or cans you put in to chill, the pull-down rate can vary. If you’re looking for something with specific features or functionality, please contact the team at REO, and we’ll be happy to offer you a personal recommendation to make it easy for you to get the fridge you need.

By incorporating a Commercial Bar Fridge into your serving area, whether that’s at a cafe till or at the bar in your pub or restaurant, access to drinks is easier and makes serving customers faster. The clear view makes it simple for staff to find what customers want, along with ensuring you can see when stock is getting low.

It depends on where the drinks are served from. Underbench commercial bar refrigerators sit within reach of the taps and the till, hold a night’s service stock and keep the bar top clear. An upright commercial display fridge with two or three glass doors holds far more, which suits a bottle shop, a café counter, or a venue that restocks once a day rather than through service.

Plenty of sites run both, with the upright commercial display refrigerator as the bulk store and the underbench unit as the working fridge. A commercial fridge for drinks in a customer-facing spot needs glass doors, interior LED lighting and shelves that can be angled so the labels face forward.
