Schmick 118L Upright Bar Fridge – SK118R-B

Built tough for the Aussie outdoors and sharp enough to sit in any high-end bar, the Schmick SK118R-B is your go-to black bar fridge for alfresco and indoor entertaining. Fitted with triple-glazed heated glass, this fridge says goodbye to foggy doors and hello to consistent performance—even in hot, humid climates.

It’s got the good looks—black powder-coated finish, soft blue LED lighting, and a sleek smashed aluminum interior—but it’s not just about style. This fridge is engineered for high ambient temps with a beefed-up cooling system and energy-efficient R600a refrigerant. Yes, it runs louder (47 dB) than a regular bar fridge, but that’s because it’s packing serious chilling power.

Fully lockable and fitted with adjustable chromed shelving, it’s a standout choice for commercial venues, home bars, and outdoor kitchens. Want a left-hinged version? Go for the SK118L-B.
