Provided are a home bar and a refrigerator including the home bar. The home bar includes a home-bar frame, a home-bar door, and a damping hinge. The home-bar frame is mounted on a refrigerator door around an opening formed through the refrigerator door. The home-bar door is rotatably mounted on the home-bar frame for selectively opening and closing the opening. The damping hinge is detachably installed on the home-bar frame and is coupled to a side of the home-bar door for dampening a rotation force of the home-bar door. Therefore, the home bar can be easily repaired or replaced with low costs.
