Keg Coolers

Keg Coolers are specialised refrigeration units designed to keep kegs of beer and other draught beverages at the ideal serving temperature. This range includes undercounter keg fridges and direct draw beer dispensers suited to busy bars, pubs, hotels and event venues. By combining reliable cooling with easy access to kegs, they help maintain consistent quality, reduce waste and speed up service. Durable construction and professional finishes ensure they integrate neatly into commercial bar layouts while standing up to heavy daily use.

• Undercounter keg coolers from leading brands such as Tefcold, ideal for fitting beneath bar counters and worktops.
• Models with different keg capacities so you can store multiple kegs for high-volume draught beer and cider service.
• Direct draw keg beer dispensers with integrated taps for serving straight from the unit, perfect for bars and event spaces.
• Robust commercial-grade exteriors and interiors designed to handle frequent door openings and busy bar environments.
• Efficient refrigeration systems to maintain stable temperatures for consistent pour quality and reduced product waste.
• Smart, professional styling that complements modern bar equipment and front-of-house layouts.

How to choose the right Keg Coolers

• Assess how many kegs you need to store at once and choose a cooler with suitable internal capacity for your busiest trading periods.
• Measure your available bar space and decide whether an undercounter unit or a larger direct draw dispenser best fits your layout.
• Consider the type of beverages you serve and check temperature ranges to ensure optimal conditions for beer, cider or other draught drinks.
• Look at door configuration, access and tap positions so staff can change kegs quickly and serve efficiently during peak times.
• Review energy efficiency and build quality to balance running costs with long-term durability in a commercial setting.
• Check compatibility with standard keg sizes used in Ireland to avoid issues with loading and storage.

Care and maintenance

• Clean interior surfaces regularly with food-safe, non-abrasive cleaners to maintain hygiene and prevent odours.
• Wipe down door gaskets and inspect seals frequently to ensure a tight close and consistent internal temperature.
• Keep condenser coils free from dust and blockages to maintain efficient cooling performance and reduce energy use.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the unit and never block grills or vents to avoid overheating the refrigeration system.
• Schedule periodic checks by a qualified refrigeration technician to spot issues early and extend the life of the cooler.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning beer lines and taps on direct draw dispensers to protect drink quality and safety.

Pair your keg refrigeration with matching bar equipment such as beer fridges, glass frosters and ice makers to complete your draught service setup.
