Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan's Neck Pub in Stratford-upon-Avon needed to replace their old back bar coolers, which were struggling to keep up with weekend demand and  often served drinks that weren't quite cold enough.

"Our old fridges were letting us down on busy nights. The Polar GL007 has been brilliant – drinks are always ice-cold, and  customers have noticed the difference. It's just so reliable."

David Chen – Landlord

Since installation, the pub has reported a 15% increase in bottled drink sales, a success they attribute to serving perfectly chilled drinks every time.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position on a flat, stable surface, leaving at least 20cm of space around the unit for good air circulation.
  • Before plugging in, let the cooler stand upright for at least 3 hours to allow the refrigerant fluids to settle.
  • Once switched on, allow the fridge to reach its operating temperature before loading it with stock for the best results.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly wipe down the interior and  door seals with a mild detergent and  warm water to keep it hygienic.
  • Gently clean the condenser coil (usually at the back) every few months with a soft brush to remove dust build-up.
  • Check that the door seals are tight and not cracked or split to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
  • The automatic defrost handles ice build-up, but just make sure the drainage outlet remains clear of debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bottle Cooler

Not sure which back bar cooler is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Size & Capacity

Measure your under-counter space carefully—including height, width, and  depth. Match the bottle capacity to your typical busy service to avoid constant restocking.

Door Type

Hinged doors are great for most setups, while sliding doors can be better for narrow walkways. Also, consider if you need a solid door for the stockroom or glass to display products.

Cooling System

Fan-assisted cooling provides faster temperature recovery, which is vital for busy bars. Static cooling is quieter but may take longer to chill new stock.

Security

If you're storing premium spirits or wines, a lockable door is a non-negotiable feature for security and  peace of mind.

Energy Efficiency

Look at the refrigerant type (like R600a) and  insulation thickness. Good LED lighting and  effective door seals will save you money on your electricity bills in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I store food in this cooler?

A: This unit is designed and  optimised for bottled and  canned drinks. For perishable foods like sandwiches or dairy, a dedicated commercial food fridge is always recommended.

Q: What does fan-assisted cooling actually do?

A: It uses an internal fan to circulate cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, ensuring faster cool-down times and  a consistent temperature for all your drinks.

Q: How do I set the temperature?

A: The digital controller on the front is very straightforward. You simply use the up and  down arrows to set your desired temperature within the 2°C to 8°C range.

Q: Is the door reversible?

A: On this specific Polar GL007 model, the hinged door is not reversible, so its swing direction is fixed. Please check your installation space before ordering.

Q: What is the maximum number of bottles it can hold?

A: It has a capacity for approximately 108 standard 330ml bottles. This can vary slightly depending on the specific shape and  size of the bottles.

Q: Does it need to be plumbed into a water supply or drain?

A: No, this is a self-contained unit. The automatic defrost system manages condensation, which is collected and  evaporated away automatically.

Q: Can I store wine bottles in it?

A: Yes, the adjustable shelves can be configured to accommodate most standard-sized wine bottles. An optional wine shelf is also available for purchase separately.

Q: How noisy is this commercial bar fridge?

A: As a commercial-grade unit with a powerful compressor and  fan, it will produce some operational noise. This is perfectly normal for this type of high-performance appliance.

How Fan-Assisted Cooling Guarantees the Perfect Serve

Ever wondered what 'fan-assisted cooling' actually means for your bar? Think of it like a convection oven, but for chilling. Instead of just letting cold air sit wherever it settles, a small, powerful fan actively circulates it around every single bottle and  can inside the cooler. This simple action has a huge impact: it eliminates 'warm spots', ensuring a consistent temperature from top to bottom. It also means that when you restock with room-temperature bottles during a rush, they get down to serving temperature in a flash, not in an hour. It's the secret to reliably serving an ice-cold drink every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Pubs & Bars: Ideal for under-counter placement, keeping best-sellers chilled and  ready for the next round.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A smart choice for storing soft drinks, mixers, or white wines close to the service area.
  • Hotels & Guest Houses: Perfect for a hotel bar or function room, offering guests perfectly cooled refreshments.
  • Social Clubs & Event Venues: A reliable and  secure way to keep beverages at the ideal temperature during events.
