A cold glass keeps a beer cold longer, and customers notice. Commercial glass chillers keep frosted glasses coming all the way through service: single-door units for a small bar, bigger freestanding cabinets, and models built into the bar. They hold pint, pot and schooner glasses, wine glasses and cocktail glasses at drinking temperature, ready to pour into. Delivered anywhere in Australia.

Variable temperature controls let you set how cold the glasses come out, for beer, wine or cocktails, so one cabinet covers the whole drinks list. The range includes small single-door chillers for a small bar up to large freestanding cabinets for a busy pub, so you can buy the size that suits your business at its current size, then size up as your business grows.

These are the top FAQs for Commercial Glass Chillers

Will it cope with an Australian summer?

With the unique conditions that we have throughout Australia, hospitality businesses need hard-wearing, resilient appliances, especially when it comes to any form of commercial refrigeration. Our range of commercial glass chillers can operate in higher ambient temperatures, with some models capable of running smoothly in environments as hot as 43℃. Not only are they ideal for busy kitchens or bars, but they’re also great for the hotter climates that we experience in Australia, making it easier for your customers to savour their drink for longer without it getting warm.

Where does it go behind the bar?

Ideally placed next to a bar fridge or your dedicated wine fridge, commercial glass chillers sit alongside the rest of the bar and make pouring faster for your staff and better for your guests. With glass doors, self-closing design and variable temperature controls to customise how cold your glass is, they can be built into your bar setup or operate as standalone appliances.

Do I really need frosted glasses?

For those super hot days where there’s nothing that will quench your thirst quite like an ice-cold beer, or when you want to enhance the flavour of a particularly special wine, commercial glass chillers are your best bet.

When you’re running a busy establishment and are getting through glasses quickly, you’ll want a large supply of glasses that are going to enhance your drinks. Whether you have a smaller capacity for glassware or simply need to keep washing things due to those busy happy hours, commercial glass chillers will help everything run smoothly. Not only will your glasses come out of the chiller at the perfect temperature, but they’re also able to quickly pull down glasses that are still hot from your dishwasher.

Why not just use ice?

Different drinks are best served at different temperatures to maximise their unique flavours. You don’t want to have to rely on ice to cool your drinks, especially not for things like beer or wine, which will rapidly get diluted and lose their unique flavour profile. Glass chillers make it easy to serve drinks right from the fridge or tap at the right temperature, while also holding them at temperature for longer.

You can also use commercial glass chillers for non-alcoholic drinks, including milkshakes, slushies or iced coffees for cafe settings. These nifty fridges add an extra element of service and quality, making your bar, restaurant, or cafe a place to remember by delivering perfectly chilled drinks each and every time.

Can I use one in a food truck?

Yes, with our compact models of commercial glass chillers, you can use them in a variety of places for a broad range of menu items. Single-door models like those from Williams are ideal for pop-up cafes or food trucks, allowing you to prep your glasses quickly for everything from desserts to enhanced cold drinks presentation.

You could also opt for chilled glasses for ice cream, serve sundaes or slushies in reusable glasses for a more sustainable and heightened experience for customers.

Will it keep up at happy hour?

Whether you have a busy bar or run a happy hour that draws in massive crowds, you’ll know how quickly you can get through wine and beer glasses. Between running them to the dishwasher and replacing them on the shelves, keeping enough on deck to match customer demand can be a challenge.

When you’re taking hot glasses out of the dishwasher, they’re at a less-than-optimal temperature to serve chilled drinks in. No one wants a soupy beer or wine, which is why commercial glass chillers are such an integral part of a busy bar or pub setup. They create an easy flow from the dishwasher to the glass chiller, to the bartender's hands, so they can serve drinks on demand and at the perfect temperature that customers will enjoy.

Can it go out the front where customers see it?

Glass chillers add an extra luxury element to your bar, enhancing the presentation and also your customers' enjoyment of their drinks. Our range of chillers comes in a range of finishes, from high-shine stainless steel to classic black. They can go in your front of house area for a modern and professional look.

How is it different from a normal bar fridge?

While conventional fridges are designed especially for food and drinks, our range of commercial glass chillers comes with slightly different design features to match their unique purpose. Many come with self-closing doors, so a bartender can grab a glass one-handed and the door shuts itself. They’re also often fitted with glass caddies, meaning you can quickly load your glasses from the dishwasher right into the chiller for rapid cooling, with the added benefit of preventing condensation build-up, so you don’t have damp glasses when you’re pouring drinks.

You’ll find some common features that you’re likely already familiar with, including things like energy efficiency thanks to modern refrigerants like R290, and double or triple glazing to hold temperature inside. They also have adjustable shelves, making them versatile enough for you to rearrange to match different sizes of glass to cater to the season, or whichever drinks you’re serving the most of.
