Back Bar Refrigeration 101:
The Cold Hard Truth

Back bar refrigeration is used in restaurants, hotels, casinos and bars across the globe for storage and easy access of bottles, canned beverages and other products. These units are built with a low-profile design (typically ranging from 34” to 36” high) to enable them to be slid beneath counters easily in a bar environment. Shelves can be easily adjusted in the field to fit anything from tall wine bottles to small cans for beer and soda. Krowne back bar units are also approved for open food storage.
