A cooler having a beverage dispenser adapted for seating within the cooler. The beverage dispenser is removably arranged in the cooler, either within the main interior compartment of the cooler or in its own compartment and includes a manually operated pump assembly with a rotatable dispensing arm. The cooler may have a one-piece lid or a split lid, with one portion of the split lid covering the main compartment and another portion covering the beverage dispenser. The cooler may also have wheels and a pull handle. The lid may be attached to the cooler with an integral hinge which limits the angle through which the lid may be opened.
