Our verdict

A horizontal underbar cooler for a bar that serves bottled and canned drinks from behind the counter, with a locking stainless lid and a bottle opener on board. It is a top-loading chest, not a glass-door display case.

Overview

TRUE builds this deep well bottle cooler as a horizontal stainless chest that loads from the top through a stainless lid, with PVC coated dividers splitting the bin into sections. Forced air moves cold through the galvanized interior, and a removable bottle cap opener and cap catcher come with it.

A locking lid and a holding range just above freezing make it the workhorse behind a counter where staff grab bottles all night. Being a chest, stock at the bottom is harder to reach and rotate, and nothing is on display to customers. The epoxy coated evaporator and galvanized interior are built for wet, corrosive bottle service.

Who it's for

Bars and service counters that stock cases of bottled beer and canned drinks for fast hand service. Anyone wanting a display case, or a home setting with no room for a heavy chest, is better served by an upright glass-door cooler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Door locks standard
  • Removable bottle opener and cap catcher
  • Epoxy coated evaporator resists corrosion
  • Forced air cooling across the cabinet
Cons
  • Top loading, bottom stock harder to reach
  • Galvanized interior, not stainless
  • Heavy for one person to move
  • No glass display

Performance notes

An oversized compressor and forced air circulation hold the cabinet within a narrow band above freezing, so bottles reach serving temperature evenly instead of cold on one side and warm on the other. Because the lid opens from the top, cold air pools inside and little is lost on each opening. Ecomate foam in the walls reduces compressor run time.
