A commercial glass chiller frosts beer mugs, pint glasses and cocktail glassware – and keeps bottled and canned drinks ice-cold – so every drink arrives perfectly chilled. Babak Food Equipment offers glass frosters, mug chillers and bottle and glass chillers for pubs, sports bars, restaurants, lounges and hotels across Vancouver and British Columbia, from Turbo Air and Atosa. Sized to fit under the bar or on the back bar, a glass chiller for bar service adds a premium touch that guests notice.
Types of glass chillers
Top-loading glass frosters
Chest-style units with lift-up or sliding lids hold rows of mugs and glasses and keep them frosted with little cold-air loss.
Back bar glass chillers
Front-opening models sit at back bar height and match other bar coolers, so bartenders can reach chilled glassware without lifting a lid.
Also see back bar glass refrigerators and beer dispensers to complete the bar.
How to choose a glass chiller

Capacity: count the mugs or glasses you serve in a rush and size the chiller to hold them.
Temperature: glass frosters typically run at about 0°F (-18°C) or colder – cold enough to frost glass but not to crack it.
Lid or door style: top-loading lids hold cold best; front doors are faster to reach.
Space: measure under the bar and check whether the unit needs rear clearance.
Glassware: use tempered glassware designed for frosting and let wet glasses drain before loading.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a glass chiller and a freezer?
A glass chiller is built for glassware, with racks or open space sized for mugs and fast recovery after each opening. A regular freezer is designed for food storage.
Can wine glasses go in a glass chiller?
Most bars chill beer mugs, pint glasses and martini or cocktail glasses. Thin stemware is more fragile, so check the glass maker’s advice first.
How long does it take to frost a glass?
It depends on the unit and the glass, but a dry glass loaded into a cold chiller usually frosts within an hour or so.

Yes – many units in this category are designed to chill glassware and bottled or canned drinks. Check the temperature range of the model, as frosting glass needs a colder setting than storing drinks.
