Empura Bottle Coolers

What should you look for in bottle coolers?

Match the cooler to the available width, required beverage capacity, container mix, and traffic behind the bar. Consider top configuration, dividers, interior access, finish, temperature controls, drainage, and the clearance required for ventilation and service. The cabinet height should also work with the surrounding bar layout.

Empura horizontal bottle coolers are offered in 37-, 49-, 64-, and 95-inch widths. The current collection includes stainless steel and powder-coated black exteriors, giving operators a choice of finishes for front- or back-of-house placement. Capacity varies by size, so the product specifications should be checked against the bottles and cans used in the operation. Bars that need front-opening refrigerated storage can also compare Empura back bar coolers.

Frequently asked questions

What is a horizontal bottle cooler?
It is a low refrigerated cabinet with access from the top. Bottles and cans are stored upright or in organized sections so staff can retrieve beverages quickly during service.

What is the difference between a bottle cooler and a back bar cooler?
A bottle cooler usually has top-opening access and is designed for rapid beverage retrieval. A back bar cooler normally has front-opening solid or glass doors and can store a wider mix of packaged beverages and bar supplies.

What sizes do Empura bottle coolers come in?
Empura's current horizontal bottle cooler collection includes 37-, 49-, 64-, and 95-inch models. Measure the installation area and leave the clearances stated by the manufacturer.

Can a bottle cooler store cans as well as bottles?
Yes, when the container dimensions and internal dividers are compatible. Because package sizes vary, compare the actual can and bottle mix with the model's interior layout and stated capacity.

How should a commercial bottle cooler be cleaned?
Remove products, clean interior surfaces and dividers with products approved by the manufacturer, and keep the condenser area free of dust and debris. Follow the manual for drain cleaning and any model-specific maintenance steps.
