Glass Chillers & Frosters

Best Glass Chillers & Frosters for Bars & Restaurants

There's something special about a drink served in a frosty mug or glass. That layer of frost keeps beverages colder longer, reduces ice dilution, and adds a visual touch that tells guests you care about the details. A glass chiller or froster makes this possible by maintaining temperatures well below freezing, so your glassware is ready to impress with every pour.

These units are built for bars, restaurants, brewpubs, and any establishment where cold drinks are part of the experience. Whether you're serving draft beer in frosted mugs, cocktails in chilled coupes, or desserts on cold plates, a glass froster keeps your service elevated and your guests impressed.

At GoFoodservice, we offer glass chillers and frosters from trusted brands like Atosa, Beverage-Air, Glastender, True Refrigeration, Turbo Air, and U-Star. Choose from compact underbar units that slide beneath speed rails, wider models for high-volume operations, and stainless steel or black vinyl finishes to match your bar décor.

Why Choose a Glass Chiller or Froster?

If you've ever grabbed a room-temperature glass from the shelf and filled it with a cold draft beer, you know it's not the same as pouring into a frosted mug. The drink warms up faster, loses its crispness, and just doesn't have the same appeal. A glass chiller solves this by keeping glassware at 0°F or below, ready to frost up the moment you pull it out.

Beyond the presentation, frosted glassware actually improves the drinking experience. Cold glasses keep drinks at their ideal temperature longer, which means guests enjoy their beverages the way they're meant to be served. For dessert service, chilled plates keep salads crisp and cold dishes at proper temperatures longer.

Isn't it better to serve every drink in perfectly frosted glassware rather than settling for room-temperature service? That's exactly what a glass chiller or froster delivers.

What to Look for in a Glass Chiller or Froster

When shopping for a glass chiller or froster, you'll want to match the unit to your bar layout, glassware types, and service volume. Not every bar needs the same capacity or configuration.

Some things to consider when choosing a glass chiller or froster include:

• Width (24", 36", 48", or 50") based on your available space and volume
• Number of shelves and capacity for mugs, steins, or plates
• Underbar vs. back bar placement options
• Stainless steel vs. black vinyl exterior finish
• Slide-top lids for easy access during service
• Auto-defrost for easier maintenance
• And more!

A glass chiller or froster is a smart investment for any bar or restaurant that wants to elevate drink service. It keeps glassware ready to impress and helps your team serve faster during busy shifts.
