  1. Introducing New Low-Height Back Bar Refrigeration and Dry Storage

    Maybe a bar operator wants to include storage in the underbar area where it will be in line with 30-inch high equipment or work surfaces. Maybe an owner is retrofitting an existing underbar because adding bottled ciders to the beverage list requires more refrigeration capabilities in a limited space. Maybe a designer wants to use low height cabinets during the planning and designing phase of a new bar. Now this is all possible with low-height back bar refrigeration and storage from Perlick.

    Low-height refrigeration and dry storage cabinets are available in both self-contained and remote refrigeration options. And like Perlick's standard-height back bar units, this new low-height back bar series offers many of the same amenities in a compact, 29-inch high option.

  2. Perlick Introduces New 48-Inch Front Venting Bar Refrigeration

    When it comes to back bar and underbar refrigeration, options mean everything. From color to door design to temperature control, finding the right bar refrigeration unit can increase bar efficiencies, allow for more accurate beverage storage, and ultimately increase the productivity and profitability of the bar. Essentially, your bar refrigeration needs to "fit."

    That's why Perlick decided to create a new 48-inch back bar and underbar refrigeration unit that actually fits in a 48-inch space. With new front venting bar refrigeration with exhaust below the refrigeration doors, our units are as condensed as possible.

    The new 48-inch front venting bar refrigerators from Perlick contain stainless steel tops, ends, and interiors, as well as the back and base. Compressors come with a five-year warranty, and the unit as a whole includes a one-year parts and labor warranty.

    Options really do mean everything, and Perlick front venting bar refrigeration comes with dual zone temperature

  4. The Art of Bar Design with an Industry Expert

    * The following Art of Bar Design Q&A article with Greg Rodd, Sales Engineer Manager with Perlick, first appeared in the February edition of Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine.

    What makes for good bar design?

    The bar is a profit center. A well designed, efficient bar has the right equipment arranged to minimize bartender movement, which equals more drinks per hour and translates to higher profits.

    What challenges can you run into when designing a bar?

    Space constraints that prevent an efficient, functional equipment plan. Too often the space allocated and the shape of the bar is driven by aesthetics and the equipment is selected to the allocated space, which is backwards. The equipment should be selected and arranged for efficiency, and the bar should be designed to the equipment.

    What are the first steps in bar design?

    Learn about the operation.

  6. Which Perlick Bar Is Right for You?

    It's your choice. When designing your bar with maximum throughput in mind, you get to decide the features, the quality, and the configuration. These choices will ultimately determine how efficient your bar will be, how productive your staff will be, and how profitable your operation will be.

    MODULAR BARS

    modIf your project is new construction or a complete remodel and there is no existing bar, a modular bar is a great factory assembled solution that can save both time and money. Look for a modular bar that is made with a heavy gauge frame that also provides easy access to service utilities and beverage lines. Good modular bar systems like Perlick's can fit straight, round, or curved applications in a way that every piece of the puzzle will fit.

  7. What Every Bartender Should Know About Vermouth

    Vermouth. A classic almost mystical spirit that experienced its heyday in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its versatility is limited only by the bartender's imagination, as it works in cocktails ranging from the Martini to the Manhattan to the Negroni. But to understand why vermouth is making a comeback, you first have to know why it lost favor in the first place.

    During the peak of its popularity, vermouth was all of the highest quality, explained Adam Ford in his new book, VERMOUTH: The Revival of the Spirit that Created America's Cocktail Culture. After World War II, though, "almost all producers began taking short cuts that decreased the quality and flavor of vermouths."

    Later, as we moved through the remainder of 20th Century, vermouth experienced another set back in terms of how it was actually stored. Vermouth

  8. The Best Way to Serve Ice Cream Cocktails in Your Bar

    As we mentioned in a previous entry, there's a great resurgence in ice cream cocktails in bars and restaurants across the country. In order for beverage programs to make drinks that contain ice cream blended with spirits as efficiently as possible and at the highest quality, the right equipment is required.

    Up until now, ice cream cabinets and dispensers for bars have either been makeshift units or units that don't meet important Department of Energy standards. Many of them lose energy or don't store ice cream at optimal condition for easy dispensing into ice cream cocktails. Until now.

    INTRODUCING THE PERLICK ICE CREAM STATION FOR BARS

    The Perlick Ice Cream Station contains a Drop-In Ice Cream Freezer and an Ice Cream Center that holds the freezer. These units combine to maintain proper ice cream temperature in a convenient, counter-mount unit that is both NSF-approved and meets D.O.E. standards.

  9. Save Space and Add Selection with a Single Beer Dispensing Unit

     

    Does your bar lack space and beer selection? In many cases, these commodities go hand-in-hand. Operators want more space, and today's customers are requiring more and more selections.

    Thanks to the new Wall Mount Beer Dispenser from Perlick, both are possible. This unit comes in any length up to 96 inches and can hold up to 32 different faucets. By adding additional units, the number of beers an establishment can offer is endless. And it doesn't just have to be beer. Operators can add ciders, carbonated waters, and other beverage options that will satisfy a wider range of customers.

    Because the unit is mounted on the wall, it frees up premium, customer-facing bar space. Cleaning is also easy, and the Wall Mount Beer Dispenser comes standard with Perlick's Forward Sealing Stainless Steel Faucets that prevent beer from exposure to outside air.

  10. Two Big Ways to Save Your Bar from Health Code Violations

    Health code regulations and standards can vary from state to state, but regardless of where your bar or foodservice operation is located, health code violations can be catastrophic to your establishment. Bars and restaurants that continue to violate inspections can lose business, get a bad reputation, or even be shut down for extended periods of time.

    There are many checklists that bars, restaurants, and nightclubs can use to help them pass health inspections. The best preparation, though, is to have and maintain the proper equipment in your bar. Let's take a look at two of the most common issues that health inspectors look for when inspecting a bar, as well as how they can be resolved with one section of the Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station.
