Ice Buckets

Ice Buckets are essential for keeping wine, spirits and soft drinks perfectly chilled during service in busy Irish bars, hotels, restaurants and event venues. This range includes compact mini ice buckets, larger insulated models with lids, bottle coolers and matching ice tongs for clean, efficient serving. Designed for front-of-house presentation as well as back-bar practicality, these buckets help maintain ideal temperatures while looking smart on any counter or table. Durable materials and double-walled construction support fast-paced beverage service and consistent hygiene.

• Mini and standard ice buckets in a choice of capacities, ideal for individual tables or shared bar service.
• Double-walled and insulated ice buckets with lids to maximise cooling performance and reduce ice melt.
• Stainless steel, gunmetal, copper, bronze and concrete finishes to match your bar decor and brand style.
• Ice buckets supplied with integrated or separate ice tongs for hygienic, touch-free serving.
• Bottle coolers and ice boxes sized for wine, champagne and spirits, perfect for premium table service.
• Robust commercial designs from leading brands, suited to pubs, hotels, cocktail bars and event caterers.

How to choose the right Ice Buckets

• Match the bucket capacity to your service style, from 1 litre mini buckets for single tables to larger models for shared ice or multiple bottles.
• Choose double-walled or insulated ice buckets with lids if you need ice to last through long services, outdoor events or busy weekend shifts.
• Select materials such as stainless steel or aluminium for durability and easy cleaning in high-volume commercial bars.
• Consider decorative finishes like gunmetal, copper, bronze or concrete to complement your bar design and premium drinks list.
• Decide whether you need sets that include ice tongs and lids for improved hygiene and faster, more organised service.
• Check dimensions to ensure buckets and bottle coolers fit comfortably on bar counters, service trays or small tables.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse ice buckets with warm water after each service to remove meltwater, citrus and syrup residues before they dry on.
• Use non-abrasive cloths and mild detergent to clean stainless steel and coated finishes, avoiding scouring pads that can scratch surfaces.
• Dry buckets and tongs thoroughly to prevent water spots and maintain a polished, front-of-house appearance.
• For insulated and double-walled models, avoid soaking or using very hot water that could damage seals or insulation layers.
• Store ice tongs separately or on dedicated hooks to keep them clean, easy to access and free from cross-contamination.
• Inspect handles, welds and rims regularly, replacing any damaged items to maintain safety and professional presentation.
