• Bars come in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of
  the size and theme of your bar, you will need to
  invest in some essential refrigeration equipment.

  be able to run a bar smoothly and conveniently.
• If you plan to open a bar, this guide will help
  you discover the essential refrigeration
  equipment you will need to run your bar in a way

Go Green

• Going green is more than just a buzzword. Many
  businesses, regardless of their size, are taking
  measures to go green. Going green is not only
  great for the environment but also businesses.
  Businesses can save a lot of money by switching
  to green and energy-efficient appliances and
  equipment.
• If you plan to open a bar, you should consider
  purchasing only those coolers and refrigerators
  containing the Energy Star efficiency seal. When
  compared to other regular refrigeration
  equipment, the models that include the Energy
  Star efficiency seal use around 45 percent less
  energy, allowing you to save money on your
  utility bills.

Essential Refrigeration Equipment for a Bar

• Refrigeration is essential for a bar. Your
  refrigeration equipment will not only help you
  keep your drinks cold but will also help you keep
  many perishable fruits and garnishes fresh for
  longer. If you have no idea which refrigeration
  equipment to buy for your newly opened bar, don't
  panic. We have compiled a list of the essential
  and must-have refrigeration equipment for any bar.

1. Commercial Refrigerators

• Commercial refrigerators for your drinks and
  fruits are essential, but what kind of fridge do
  you need? How many refrigerators will you need?
  The first thing you should know is that a walk-in
  cooler in a separate back room is necessary for a
  bar since it will hold most of your inventory.
• However, your bar cannot survive with just one
  walk-in cooler. How will you run a bar if you are
  constantly making trips to the back to fetch
  drinks? This is why you would need another
  commercial fridge to display your drinks in the
  bar. This will reduce your trips to the back
  while allowing you to keep up with your
  customers' needs.

1. Commercial Refrigerators

• For this purpose, a reach-in freezer that
  perfectly fits behind or under your bar will be a
  great choice. It will provide bartenders with
  easier access to every item they need. Depending
  on your needs and the size of your bar, a
  dual-temperature refrigerator and freezer might
  be an excellent choice for you.

7
Ice Machine

• No bar can function without ice. Your bar will
  need a constant and dependable supply of ice
  throughout the year. A gin and tonic wouldn't
  have the same taste, look, or feeling without the
  ice. This is why an ice machine is a piece of
  essential refrigeration equipment that your bar
  must have. You can keep your ice machine in your
  back room and bring the ice to fill a cooler when
  required. An ice machine will ensure a constant
  and dependable supply of ice, allowing you to
  keep your customers happy and satisfied.

Draft Beer Dispensers

• Direct draw draft systems are the most common
  forms of dispensing systems used in bars and
  restaurants that serve draft beer. Rather than
  storing kegs in a separate refrigerator or
  cooler, you can use the draft beer dispensers to
  keep all the components in one place. Your keg
  will be kept along with a refrigerated unit just
  underneath the faucet, with CO2 used to push the
  beer up through the tap line.

Draft Beer Dispensers

• These dispensers are handy. Through these
  dispensers, you will be able to make sure that
  your customers get a quick and fair draw every
  single time. These systems are ideal for bars
  dealing with a shortage of space and would like
  to store their kegs underneath the counter rather
  than in a specialized cooler room.
• You can also add a soda hose or fountain with the
  dispensers. This will allow your bar to serve
  different combinations of drinks that meet your
  client's unique needs.

Underbar Refrigeration Unit

• Undercounter refrigeration is the best way to
  utilize space in a small-sized bar. You can
  choose these units with both solid or glass
  doors. However, many bar owners prefer going with
  thermal doors or triple-paned glass that
  maximizes their unit's efficiency and
  productivity and significantly reduces the risk
  of shattering due to an accidental bump. You can
  use your underbar refrigeration unit to neatly
  organize your inventory items so that your
  customers have a clear view of what they can
  order.

11
Wine Cooler

• Wine coolers are glass door refrigerators
  designed explicitly for bars to display and store
  wines effectively. To efficiently store wine,
  your refrigerator must maintain a temperature
  that may not fall within the standard
  refrigeration range. This is why your bar must
  have a wine cooler set at a temperature that is
  perfect for wine storage.

12
Glass Chiller

• Some drinks are best served in chilled glasses.
  For example, frosty beer is a popular summer
  drink that every bar should have on tap. However,
  the best way to serve frosty mugs of beer is in
  chilled glasses. To successfully chill your
  drinking glasses, your bar would need
  refrigeration equipment such as a glass chiller.
  This piece of equipment comes in various shapes
  and sizes that can easily fit underneath your bar.

• These are some of the essential refrigeration
  equipment your newly opened bar must-have. The
  necessary refrigeration equipment will ensure
  that your bar runs smoothly and efficiently while
  keeping your customers happy and satisfied
  throughout the years. We hope that this guide was
  helpful for you in finding out precisely what you
