Perlick in Oakland
Perlick commercial service.
Oakland is where we see the most Perlick. The Jack London, Uptown, and Temescal cocktail rooms run Perlick back-bar systems alongside Manitowoc Indigo for their ice programs, and the bar density along those corridors keeps the after-hours line busy.
The two failures we chase most in Oakland are beer pouring warm at the tap and back-bar evaporators icing up. Warm beer with the glycol chiller running normally points to trunk-line insulation or drifted glycol on the long draft runs common in these converted buildings. The evaporator on a Tobin Ellis or C-Series undercounter ices the moment a rush ends, because bartenders prop the doors during service and the gasket stretches. A dead back bar in an Uptown cocktail room costs the bar money every hour it sits, so we answer the phone at night.

Common repairs we handle.
- Glycol draft system pouring warm and foamy. Test glycol concentration, flush if drifted, re-insulate the trunk line to the tower. Long runs in Jack London conversions ice or warm at the weak leg.
- Tobin Ellis / C-Series undercounter evap iced. Door gasket stretched from rush-hour propping. OEM gasket swap in 24 or 36 inch, under 30 minutes, then defrost and verify.
- Back-bar cooler not holding temp. Forced-air evaporator and condenser coil clogged with bar debris, or a tired condenser fan motor. Clean, swap the motor, confirm pulldown.
- Worn door cylinders and hinge cartridges. Heavy nightly use loosens back-bar doors.

FAQ
Perlick in Oakland questions, answered.
-
Do you run emergency calls for Oakland bars at night?
Yes. (925) 999-4095 is the after-hours line and it exists for exactly this. Bar ice and a dead back bar do not wait for Monday. Oakland is 25 to 35 minutes from our San Ramon base off-peak, and we route the East Bay heavily so we are often close. -
Our Perlick undercounter keeps icing the evaporator. Why?
Almost always a door gasket that has stretched from being propped open during rush. Warm room air hits the cold evap and it ices the second the rush ends. We confirm the required OEM gasket and replacement timing after diagnosis.
