ABSTRACT:
Provided is a home bar for a refrigerator that has an improved structure for easy door opening and closing. The home bar includes a home bar frame, a home bar door, a fixing unit, and an elastic member. The home bar frame includes an opening. The home bar door is configured to close the opening. The fixing unit is disposed on the home bar frame and configured to latch the home bar door. The elastic member is disposed at a side of the fixing unit and configured to apply an elastic force for opening the home bar door. Although the home bar does not have an expensive latch structure, the home bar door can be easily opened, closed, and latched. The opening is large such that foods can be easily accessed through the opening. An additional insulating layer can be provided in the home bar door for improving insulating efficiency.
