Shop by size

Which size is right?

Choose by format and door/keg count to fit the bar line:

Bottle coolerLow, sliding-top box for bottled beer at the bar.
Back-bar refrigerator (2–3 door)Glass or solid doors under the back bar.
Direct-draw keg boxHolds 1–4+ kegs with tap towers on top.

Health-department & code relevance

Back-bar refrigeration holding TCS items (mixers, garnishes, dairy) must keep ≤41°F (NSF/ANSI 7). Beer/keg boxes for alcohol-only are less strict in some areas, but a true cooler holds food-safe temps even with doors cycling all night.

Common questions

How many kegs does a direct-draw box hold?

By width — a 2-door box typically holds 2 half-barrels, a 3-door 3–4. Match tap count to your draft menu, and leave CO2 room.

Glass or solid back-bar doors?

Glass merchandises bottles and looks the part but costs a bit more in energy; solid doors hold temperature better for back-stock. Many bars mix both.
