ABSTRACT:
Provided is a home bar for a refrigerator that reduces assembly costs of a gasket and prevents cooling air leakage by improving a gasket structure of a home bar. The home bar includes an opening, a home-bar frame, a home-bar door, and a gasket. The opening is formed on a refrigerator door. The home-bar frame forms an edge portion of the opening. The home-bar door is rotatably coupled to one end of the home-bar frame. The gasket is coupled to the home-bar frame and surrounds both a front surface and a rear surface of the home-bar frame. The home bar can be easily sealed by preventing cooling air leakage from a storing portion of the home bar. In addition, assembly costs of a gasket and a home-bar frame can be reduced, thereby reducing a fabrication cost of a refrigerator.
