Outdoor Beverage Centers, Wine Coolers & Ice Makers

An outdoor-rated unit is designed and approved by its manufacturer for outdoor installation. It typically uses outdoor-grade stainless steel, sealed controls and a cooling system sized to hold temperature in summer heat. An indoor-only unit used outside can struggle to stay cold and may not be covered by its warranty, so check that the product is rated for outdoor use.

A beverage center (or beverage fridge) holds cans and bottles at a cold serving temperature, usually behind a glass door. A wine cooler keeps wine at storage and serving temperatures, often with two zones for reds and whites. Refrigerator drawers pull out like cabinet drawers and work well for food prep, condiments and drinks near the grill.

Yes, ice makers need a water supply line and a way to drain melt water. Models with a built-in drain pump, like the ZLINE Touchstone and Thor Kitchen ice makers, can pump water up to a nearby drain, while gravity-drain models need a floor drain below the unit. Follow the installation manual, and have a plumber connect the water line if you're not comfortable doing it.

Yes. Most units in this collection are built-in undercounter models that vent from the front, so they can sit under an outdoor kitchen counter. Follow the cutout dimensions and clearances in the installation manual, and plan for a dedicated outdoor-rated electrical outlet.

Outdoor-rated units are built to hold temperature in warm weather, but each model has its own rated ambient temperature range, listed on its spec sheet. Installing the unit in the shade, out of direct afternoon sun, and keeping the front vent clear help it run efficiently.
