To have a truly well stocked bar, high quality commercial bar supply and bar equipment is vital. There should be bar back storage, glass chillers, sinks and blenders, to name a few examples of the necessities. The Beverage-Air Back Bar Storage Cooler BB58 is a unit with two sections that's great for storing glasses and other supplies. With reinforced door breakers and locks as well as a stainless steel interior floor, the Beverage-Air Back Bar Storage unit is an excellent value and an Editor's Choice at Short Order. Beverage-Air also makes a larger three-section back bar storage unit with glass doors that is 72 inches long and another excellent value.
Commercial sinks are another extremely important part of having the right bar equipment. A good, economy sink like the Eagle Commercial Sink B8C-22 will allow bartenders and other employees to keep the bar clean and running smoothly. Even though the Eagle Commercial Sink is not a well-known piece of equipment, it has been well received and highly recommended by users.
Another bar supply must-have is commercial deep well bottle cooling units, like the Glastender Bottle Cooler ST24-B. The Glastender Bottle Cooler has one section, adjustable vertical dividers, and is designed for easy cleaning. The Beverage-Air Bottle Cooler DW-49 comes in two-section, three-section or four-section models and is highly rated because of its rapid chilling system and durable black steel exterior. Keeping bottles inside these units will ensure they stay chilled.
Another type of bar equipment made for cooling is commercial glass chillers, or glass frosters. Commercial glass chillers are the easiest way to always have frosty glasses on hand, which is something customers will love. Short Order offers one-section commercial glass chillers and two-section commercial glass chillers. The Beverage-Air Glass Froster GF-34L is a one-section commercial glass froster with a black steel exterior and a rapid chilling system that has received high remarks from users. Beverage-Air also offers their Glass Froster in a 48-inch-wide model that is of course of the same great quality. But if you are looking for a heavy duty commercial glass froster, this Glastender Glass Froster may be your best bet. This glass cooler has a stainless steel interior, two sections, and is designed for easy cleaning.
Most definitely, no bar is complete without a commercial blender. When customers want a margarita, daquiri, or another frozen mixed drink, a commercial blender will get the job done. A popular blender at Short Order is the Vita-Mix Commercial Blender. This blender has a three-year warranty and produces drinks with a silky smooth consistency. A medium duty blender offered at Short Order is the Waring Commercial Blender, which has a solid motor. A more economical blender is this five-star Hamilton Beach Commercial Blender, highly rated for its heavy-duty motors.
Hobart is the industry leader for undercounter, low-volume commercial glass washers. The Hobart Glass Washer LXIH-3 cleans glass with high temperature water. If you prefer a glass washer that uses chemicals to clean, the Hobart Glass Washer LXIC-5 may be your best bet. When shopping for bar equipment and bar supply, don't forget a commercial glass washer.
