Bar Refrigeration

Commercial Bar Refrigeration in Toronto & Canada

Stock your bar with equipment built for a busy service rail. Our Bar Refrigeration collection covers back bar coolers for bottled beer and mixers, beer dispensing coolers (kegerators) for draft systems, horizontal bottle coolers for wine and cold storage below the bar, glass chillers and frosters to keep pint glasses frost-cold, and wine coolers for by-the-glass programs. We carry Duracold, Nordic Air, and Atosa back bar and keg coolers, so you can pick a basic single-door cooler or a stainless steel triple-door unit depending on your bar's volume and budget. Most units are NSF-certified and hold a steady temperature to keep beer and wine at proper serving temperature. Whether you're outfitting a new bar in Toronto, Vaughan, Hamilton, or Mississauga, or restocking a service well anywhere else in the GTA or across Canada, we ship fast and stock enough sizes to fit tight bar footprints as well as high-volume nightclub setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What is a back bar cooler used for?

A back bar cooler sits behind the bar to keep bottled beer, wine, and mixers within arm's reach of the bartender, rather than tucked away in the kitchen like a reach-in. It's built low and shallow so it fits under a bar top while still holding enough stock for a full shift. Phoenix Food Equipment carries Duracold, Nordic Air, and Atosa back bar coolers in single, double, and triple door widths to match your bar length.

How does a keg beer dispensing cooler work?

A beer dispensing cooler (sometimes called a kegerator) holds one or more kegs at draft-pouring temperature while a CO2 tank pushes beer up through a tap tower mounted on top. Commercial units mainly differ from home kegerators in build quality and keg capacity — ours range from single-keg coolers to multi-keg units for a busy taproom. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks Atosa keg dispensing coolers across that full range, alongside Nordic Air.

What is a glass froster and do I need one?

A glass froster is a small refrigerated cabinet, kept well below normal fridge temperature, that chills glassware and mugs so drinks stay cold longer and beer holds its head. It's not essential for every bar, but high-volume draft programs often add one next to the back bar cooler to keep a steady supply of frosted glasses on hand.
