A back bar glass door refrigerator keeps bottled beer, wine, mixers and soft drinks cold while showing them off to your guests. Babak Food Equipment offers one, two and three door back bar coolers for bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafés and event venues across Vancouver and British Columbia, from Atosa, Infrico, ikon and Turbo Air. Built at bar height, they slide under the back counter so bartenders can grab stock without leaving the station.
Types of back bar glass refrigerators
Single, double and triple door
A one-door unit suits a coffee bar or small counter. A double glass door back bar refrigerator is the most popular size for pubs and restaurants, while three-door models cover long bars and high-volume service.
Swing or sliding doors
Swing doors open wide for restocking. Sliding glass doors need no swing space, which helps in narrow bar aisles.
Finishes and lighting
Black and stainless exteriors match most bar designs, and LED interior lighting makes labels easy to read through the glass.

How to choose a back bar glass refrigerator

Height and length: measure under the back counter. Most back bar coolers stand about 33–36 inches high and range from about 24 to 95 inches long.
Capacity: count bottles or cases per shift and size the cooler so staff restock once per service, not during the rush.
Ventilation: front-breathing units can be built in under a counter; others need open space behind them.
Glass type: double-pane or low-E glass reduces condensation and energy use in a warm, busy bar.
Locks: locking doors protect alcohol stock after hours.
Power: most back bar refrigerators run on a standard 115 V outlet; confirm the plug type before delivery.

Frequently asked questions
What is a back bar refrigerator?
It is a low, counter-height cooler installed under the back bar to store and display bottled drinks, beer and mixers close to the bartender.
Glass door or solid door for a back bar?
Glass doors show the product and help sales; solid doors hold temperature better and hide stock. Many bars use glass up front and solid doors for backup storage.
Does a back bar cooler need ventilation?
Yes. Front-breathing models are designed to be built in, while other models need clearance at the back or sides.
What temperature should a beer cooler be?
Most bottled beer and soft drinks are stored at about 34–38°F (1–3°C); check the drink maker’s recommendation.
