Under bar Freezers

Key Considerations

Hiring under bar freezers is essential for keeping food and beverages frozen for either bulk storage of ingredients or for efficient service of prepared products. When choosing an under bar freezer, firstly determine the size and configuration of the under bar freezer. These units come in various sizes and layouts with different numbers of doors. Choose the configuration that fits the available space and meets your frozen storage requirements. Assess the storage capacity of the under bar freezer in terms of the amount of ingredients it can hold. Ensure it can accommodate the volume of ingredients needed during the event. You also want to ensure that the under bar freezer has adjustable temperature controls to maintain the desired frozen storage temperature for ingredients. Lastly, verify that the location has the necessary electrical connections and voltage to support the under bar freezer’s power requirements, so your event can run smoothly with your under bar freezer to hire.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How do under bar freezers improve the workflow of your event?

    By keeping frozen ingredients, garnishes, or ice right below the counter, under bar freezers save staff from constantly walking to a main coolroom or chest freezer. This layout is optimised for high-volume, fast-paced service environments.

  • Will the underbaar freezers fit underneath standard bar counters and prep benches?

    Yes, our under bar freezers are engineered with a compact, low-profile height to slip neatly under standard bar counters and prep stations, making them the ultimate space-saving solution for tight, busy floor plans.

  • Can under bar freezers be hired for short-term events and pop-up bars?

    Absolutely. We offer flexible hire terms, whether you need an extra freezer station for a single weekend at a Melbourne food festival or a longer-term rental for a seasonal pop-up or renovation period.

  • What is the main difference between an under bar freezer and a chest freezer?

    While chest freezers are ideal for deep, bulk storage and require more floor space, under bar freezers are designed for immediate access to frequently used items. They integrate directly into your active workstation to speed up cocktail making or food preparation.

  • How much space do I need to allow for ventilation behind the under bar unit?

    To ensure the compressor runs efficiently – especially during Melbourne’s warmer summer months – we recommend leaving a clear gap of at least 100mm to 150mm behind the unit to allow heat to dissipate properly.
