Bar Fridges
Portable and convenient, bar fridge is the perfect way to free up space in your main kitchen fridge, giving you a dedicated spot for drinks, mixers, and snacks. You'll find models with adjustable glass shelves, like those from Haier and Westinghouse, that make it easy to stand up tall bottles of soft drink or wine. Many also have smart door storage, with dedicated can dispensers and bottle racks, so your favourites are always organised and easy to grab. This is especially handy when you're entertaining and need to keep the drinks flowing without constantly running back to the kitchen.
If you would like to explore other options for all your cold storage needs, Appliances Online features a range of top mount fridges, bottom mount fridges, side by side fridges, and french door fridges.
What size bar fridge should I choose?
The ideal size depends on your specific requirements and available space. For light use like keeping a few drinks cold, a compact bar fridge anywhere from 23L to 46L is perfect. Families or those who like to host little get togethers will benefit from 125L - 140L models that can hold drinks and snacks comfortably. For serious entertaining or commercial use, especially when you lowkey want to show off your brand new bar fridge, our monster bar fridges that range from 156L all the way to 399L, provide plenty of storage for large gatherings and events.
Can bar fridges be placed anywhere in my home?
Yes, a bar fridge can be placed almost anywhere thanks to clever design. Many models from brands like Haier, Esatto, and Westinghouse have a reversible door, so you can choose whether it opens to the left or right to suit your room’s layout. If space is tight, a skinny upright fridge from Schmick is a great space-saver, while adjustable feet on most models ensure your fridge stays stable and level.
You'll find it simple to organise all your drinks and snacks. Adjustable shelves are common across the range, letting you make room for tall bottles of soft drink or wine. Many bar fridges, like those from Haier and Hisense, also include a crisper drawer for fruit and door shelves wide enough to hold 2-litre bottles, so everything has its place.
Glass Door vs Solid Door for a Bar Fridge?
Your first big choice is between a glass or solid door. A glass door bar fridge is perfect for showing off your collection of drinks, and many models from Schmick and Rhino even have heated glass to stop them fogging up in humid weather. If you're more focused on energy efficiency or also storing snacks, a solid door model offers better insulation to keep everything consistently cold.
Are bar fridges suitable for wine storage?
Not quite. Bar fridges run at around 5°C which is perfect for beers, soft drinks, and keeping things really cold, but wine needs to be stored at warmer temperatures (around 12-15°C) to age properly and maintain its flavour. If you store wine in a regular bar fridge, it'll be too cold and won't develop the way it's supposed to. Wine basically goes into hibernation when it's that cold. So if you're mainly drinking beer and soft drinks, definitely go for a bar fridge. But if you're serious about wine, you'll want to check out our dedicated Wine Fridge range instead - they're specifically designed to keep wine at the perfect temperature and humidity levels so your bottles stay in top condition. This also includes our single zone wine fridges where the majority are bar fridge sizes, just made for wines, so you can still find a suitable small fridge for your wine collection.
What bar fridge finishes and styles are available?
What’s the difference between a bar fridge and a regular refrigerator?
Bar fridges are specifically designed for storing drinks and beverages with optimal temperature ranges for preserving drink quality and taste. They can also be used to store snacks and other small refrigerator goods. Their compact size provides installation flexibility since they aren’t just confined to cooking and dining areas, unlike regular fridges which are usually just meant for the kitchen, while their beverage-centric design ensures your drinks are always served at the perfect temperature.
What are the different types of bar fridges available?
At Appliances Online we stock a wide range and variety of bar fridges, making sure that there is an option for all homes and spaces. This includes single-door and multi-door models, size dimensions, various colours, under-bench and undercounter fridges, built-in bar fridges, outdoor bar fridges and more. With this variety of features and aesthetics, personalising your space is made easier. Whether you’re looking for small bar fridges or bigger three-door ones, our range is designed to meet your unique cooling needs.
If you find a product we’re carrying being advertised at a lower price by an approved retailer, don’t worry. We’re happy to match prices for everything from bar fridges to other food and beverage appliances like a new rice cooker, food dehydrator, or ice cream maker. Just reach out to our customer support team, and one of them will confirm the price match with you.
Outdoor Bar Fridges for Alfresco Entertaining
If you're setting up an outdoor kitchen, you'll need a fridge that can handle the Australian climate. Brands like Rhino build their outdoor models with marine-grade stainless steel and an official IP weather rating, so they can withstand rain and heat far better than a standard indoor fridge.
Bar Fridges with a Freezer
For more than just drinks, look for a model with an icebox or a separate freezer. Many Westinghouse and Haier models include a handy internal icebox for ice trays. For even more space, a top-mount bar fridge from Mykin gives you a dedicated freezer compartment, making it a great all-in-one solution for a studio apartment or granny flat.
Bar Fridge Smart Features for Fresher Food
Today’s bar fridges are more than just simple coolers. Many Haier models include a clever H-DEO deodoriser that helps stop different food smells from mixing, keeping the inside of your fridge smelling fresh without any effort. You can also find fridges like the Hisense 124L with a dedicated 'Fresh Zone' crisper, which is a great spot to keep fruit and vegetables separate and crisp. These small touches make a big difference in keeping your food and drinks at their best.
Bar Fridges with Reversible Doors
Almost all our bar fridges, including models from Hisense, CHiQ, and Westinghouse, come with a reversible door. This is a simple but incredibly useful feature, especially in tight spaces, as it lets you choose whether the door opens to the left or right, so it never gets in the way.
Choosing Your Bar Fridge: Indoor, Outdoor, or Integrated?
Knowing where you'll put your bar fridge helps narrow down your options. Most are designed for indoor use and work best in a stable temperature. If you're planning an alfresco area, you'll need an outdoor fridge from a brand like Rhino, which is built with weather-resistant materials to handle the elements. For a seamless look in your kitchen or cabinetry, an integrated model like the Artusi bar fridge is designed to have a custom cabinet door fitted to its front.
Under a Bench or Freestanding Bar Fridge?
You can place most bar fridges under a bench, but you need to make sure there’s enough space around it for air to circulate-usually about 50mm (2 inches) at the back and sides. If you want a perfectly flush finish, choose a 'front-venting' model from brands like Schmick or Rhino. These are specifically designed to be built into cabinetry, as they draw and expel air from the front grille.
