What the hell do you call the “reach in bar coolers”?

Like, the stainless steel lid that slides back and bars would have bottles or frosty glasses.

I’m almost done with my basement bar and I have no idea what to google to find that style/type of “reach down into cooler”

TIA

Stick with me here, it's kind of technical:

Stainless Steel Reach in horizontal bar cooler.

Here let me do that for you

Slide top box cooler? Or horizontal cooler maybe.

I’ve done bartending from the lowest to the highest level and I’ve never heard it referred to anything except the well.

Thanks everyone… is there any chance you guys could find one for less than $2700?

I only have about 48”-60” width under the bar with the ice maker and small freezer.

Just buy a regular fridge and lay it on the ground.

Briliant!

check out commercial refrigeration equipt. resellers

they sell the older units that get replaced with new ones so many deals are there to be had if you dont mind them having a few scratches and dents

I’d personally get something that has a clear front so you can see where stuff is? Those reach in wells are really only good to keep specific items that are served routinely. Unless you drink the shite out of like one beer I wouldn’t get one personally?

Get a glass door under counter fridge

Don't do this. They are horribly insulated, thereby needing larger compressors which need to run constantly and will raise the temperature and humidity levels in your basement/garage to uncomfortable levels. This is exasperated by the fact the big arse hot air exhaust vent faces to the front and pushes out enough air into the room to lift a weather balloon. And to top it off, they will have 24/7 butt sex with your electric bill.

At the very least, I would rig up some sort of insulted duct work to vent the hot air to outside. And that is a pain in the arse that you just slam your shin against and leaves you with a hole cut in the wall of your garage bar area when you sell the thing on Craigslist after one summer of dealing with the aforementioned problems.

Ask me how I know these things.

They'll add a slight flavor of sexual assault to anything they cool
