Common Questions About Bar Equipment

 

What types of commercial bar equipment are available?

 

There are many different kinds of commercial bar equipment you can use to bring your food service operation to the next level. Commercial ice makers can provide what you need to keep your beverages cold, while bar refrigeration equipment keeps glasses, bottles, and draft beers cold. Blenders and cocktail mixers help operators blend frozen cocktails, while liquor dispensing systems pipe draft beer and wine from kegs kept in coolers.

 

Bar drinkware is also an option. There are plastic and glass drinkware available. Underbar equipment provides storage space for glass racks and boxes of additional equipment, while ice bins for bars provide standalone or drop-in ice storage. Liquor display equipment enables you to organize your liquor bottles Lastly, speed rails for bars can be purchased in order to keep popular liquor and mixers ready.

 

Other bar equipment can be purchased to help keep bars clean while effectively serving your customers. Bar mats help to capture water from wet glasses - holding them in place on a non-slip surface. Bartending equipment such as liquor pourers, garnish caddies, cocktail shakers, and bottle openers allow employees to prepare and serve products efficiently.

 

What are my options for bar refrigeration?

 

Commercial bar refrigeration equipment is specifically designed to keep your product cold. Back bar coolers have a subtle design which enables them to slide smoothly underneath bar counters. It is possible for them to hold everything from beer cans to bottles of wine. They can also be equipped with solid or glass doors. Bottle coolers, on the other hand, are made for storing and cooling cases of alcohol, while glass frosters and chillers help to chill beer mugs, glasses and more - creating a frosted appearance. Wine coolers, especially ones with glass doors, enable you to showcase your wine selection while keeping the bottles cool. Draft beer systems, also known as kegerators,  keep beer kegs cold while featuring built-in taps for dispensing beer.

 

Which commercial ice machine is best for a bar?

 

When choosing a commercial ice maker, there are two main factors to consider. First, you will want to decide how much ice you will need. Generally, cocktail bars need about three pounds of ice per person. That said, a bar which focuses on beer might not require that much. Second, you will need to decide what type of ice you need. If you are planning on making blended frozen cocktails, crescent, half-cube, or nugget ice is typically preferred, since it is easy to blend. For chilling high-end cocktails, you may prefer large, gourmet cubes, since they melt more slowly and won’t dilute the drink as quickly as others.
