Bar Fridges

(43 products)

A bar fridge keeps drinks cold in the entertaining area, games room or office without crowding the main fridge. Options include small bar fridge models for under the bench, glass-door display fridges and larger double-door units. Measure the cavity, allow ventilation space around the back and sides, and check whether the fridge is rated for indoor or outdoor use. Compare full-size fridges and ice makers, or browse kitchen appliances and eskies.

How to choose a bar fridge

Pick the capacity

Capacity is listed in litres, and the range runs from compact 40 L countertop coolers up to around 78 L and 105 L glass door models. As a rough guide:

  • Around 40 L: a desk, bedroom or small office. Enough for cans and a few bottles.
  • Around 70 to 80 L: the most popular size for a games room or entertaining area.
  • 100 L and up: holds a party's worth of drinks or doubles as a backup fridge.

Measure the space, then add airflow

Check the height, width and depth against the cavity or bench, then allow a gap at the back and sides so heat can escape. A fridge squeezed into a tight cabinet works harder and runs louder. Check the product page for whether it is built for freestanding use only.

Glass door or solid door

Glass doors with LED lighting let you see what is inside without opening the door, which suits a bar or entertaining area. Solid doors hide the contents and suit an office or bedroom. Some models are lockable, which is handy in shared spaces.

Indoor or outdoor

Most bar fridges are made for indoor use. If it will sit on a patio or in an outdoor kitchen, check that the model is rated for outdoor use and keep it out of direct sun.

Price guide

Compact models start from about $97, with most around $200 to $300. Larger glass door fridges cost more. Black is the most common finish, with some white options. Add bar stools, a bar table or a wine rack to set up the rest of the bar.

Bar Fridges: common questions

What size bar fridge do I need?

Think about what you will keep in it. A 40 L mini fridge suits a desk or bedroom, around 80 L suits most entertaining areas, and 100 L or more holds plenty for parties. Then measure the space and leave room for airflow.

How many cans or bottles does a bar fridge hold?

It depends on the litre capacity and shelf layout, so check the product page for each model. Removable or adjustable shelves help fit taller wine bottles alongside cans, and the glass door models let you see at a glance when stock is running low.

Can I put a bar fridge outside?

Only if the model is rated for outdoor use, which is listed on the product page. Most bar fridges are indoor models. Even outdoor-rated units work best in the shade with good airflow around them.

How loud is a mini bar fridge?

Noise levels vary by model and are listed on many product pages. Compressor fridges hum when running, and a fridge pushed hard against a wall or into a tight cavity runs louder. Leave a gap around it for airflow.

Can I use a bar fridge for wine?

Yes for short-term chilling. Check the temperature range on the product page, as wine is usually stored a little warmer than beer and soft drinks. For longer storage, a dedicated wine fridge holds a steadier temperature.

Can I lock a bar fridge?

Some models have a lockable door, which is useful in offices, rentals or homes with kids. Use the lockable filter or check the features list on the product page. Keep the key somewhere safe, as replacements are model specific.

How much power does a bar fridge use?

Check the power rating and energy information on the product page. Smaller fridges generally use less, and keeping the door closed, the fridge out of the sun and the vents clear all help keep running costs down.

“Happy with the new shed-looks great, easy to put together good instructions relatively easy to follow. Removing the plastic film was very time consuming, in the end could not remove some of it. Quick delivery. We were 9 screws short, not a deal breaker, however made it awkward to finish. Very good shed.”
