Glastender Commercial Bar Equipment & Refrigeration
Glastender was born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1969, when founder Jon D. Hall invented the first automatic rotary glasswasher and named the company after it. Hall had already spent the 1960s in his father's equipment business, and the glasswasher was built to save bartenders the walk to a dish room. Stainless underbar followed in 1979. Bar refrigeration joined the line in 1985. The company is still family-owned, still headquartered in Saginaw, and still made in the USA. At GoFoodservice, we offer Glastender back bar coolers, underbar sinks, glasswashers, mug frosters, and ice equipment for restaurants, taverns, breweries, nightclubs, and hotel bars.
- Back bar coolers and bottle coolers that keep bottled beer, wine, and mixers at the rail instead of in a walk-in
- Underbar sinks, drainboards, and ice bins that build a complete cocktail station in a tight footprint
- Automatic rotary glasswashers, the product that started the brand, for bars that need clean glass without a full dish machine
- Glass chillers and mug frosters for beer service that wants a frozen mug on every pour
- Undercounter refrigerators, ice displays, and portable bars for overflow service, banquet bars, and event floors
- Specialty refrigeration including ice cream dipping cabinets, refrigerated lettuce crispers, and wall-mount refrigerators when the same shop runs a bar and a short kitchen
Hall's original glasswasher existed to cut wasted steps. That idea still runs the modular underbar: each cooler, sink, and ice bin is meant to lock into a station a bartender can work without leaving the well. A mug froster next to the beer box follows the same logic, putting a frozen glass within arm's reach of the tap.
Because Glastender still manufactures in Saginaw, the stainless, the rotary glasswashers, and the back bar coolers come from one family shop. That is the opposite of a mixed import bar package pieced together from three catalogs.
