Product Description

A glass door mini bar is a small refrigerator specifically designed to store beverages.

 They are typically countertop appliances and come in a variety of sizes, from compact models that can hold just a few cans of soda to larger units that can accommodate several wine bottles and other drinks.  The advantage of a glass door mini bar is that you can easily see what's inside without having to open the door. This can be helpful for keeping track of your inventory and for choosing a drink without having to rummage around in the dark.
