  There is a functioning one in a little bar called “Nicks” in Lemont.

  I own a bar/restaurant and have had one these coolers in service for the 25 years my wife and I have owned the place. It was in use when we bought the place in 1984 and the previous owner had it in operation for at least 25 years before that.

  I am interest in obtaining a latch set for mine. The door side of the latch has a part broken that holds the pin that holds the handle in place.

  Any ideas?

  The info I have on these are that there were 11 of them made for the 39 worlds fair on treaure island san francisco. There are two in working condition that look like wood wine bottles in a little restaraunt in san rafael called Le Chalet Basque http://www.chaletbasquemarin.com/ if you go to there site you can see it in the corner on page 6 of the indoor seating. If anyone owns one and is in the market of getting rid of it let me know.

  Like Gary Graham, I have the exact same problem with the latch set. Can anyone tell me where I might get replacement parts

  I play with a jazz group at a great burger joint in Cincinnati, Ohio called TERRY’S TURF CLUB that has at least two working Bevadors. They look awesome and keep the beer nice and cold.

  In honor of the retro vibe, we call ourselves

  The Bevadors

  They have a working one at the original Threadgills in Austin, TX.

  A friend of mine has one of these coolers in his bar. It is still on working condition. Does anyone have any idea what they are worth? He is curious to find out. Please let me know.

  I saw one of these at a bar in Hammondsport, NY this weekend and am completely intriguiged by it. I want to learn as much about as possible about them and the company that made them. It’s top label says Beerador, not Bevador. The bartender at Maloney’s Irish Pub told me they had latch problems, also. I do not know if they repaired it with authentic parts or not.

• 15 TJ // Oct 30, 2009 at 5:51 pm

  I am interested in purchasing a Bevador or Beerador for a concept I am putting together. Email me if a) you have one to sell or b) know where I can find one. I am in the Chicago area, but would be happy to travel to pick one up.

  We have a working bevador cooler and need a new handle any ideas where to get one/

• 17 vintagevending // Nov 25, 2009 at 10:47 am

  Chris,

  This seems to be a common problem with Bevadors, and a lot of people are looking for parts to fix the handle. Unfortunately, we don’t have any recommendations of where to buy the parts. If anyone can help out with this, please comment.

• 18 Steve Magas // Jan 4, 2010 at 1:17 am

  There are a few Bevador coolers in use at Terry’s Turf Club, a very hip venue in Cincinnati, OH. The Fri-Sat night jazz group is called Eric Campbell & The Bevadors!

• 20 Adam // Jan 12, 2010 at 11:35 am

  I have a Beerador model that is and has been in working operation in the bar I now own since the 1960s. The previous owner took it out of the bar in the 80s and had it painted to match the then local brewery here in La Crosse Wisconsin. i too have a missing pin for the door handle. any ideas? We use the heck out of the cooler and get a lot of comments about it. Adam

• 29 Marie // May 28, 2010 at 2:06 pm

  I used to work in a blood bank in Charlotte, NC where we had 2 Jewett Bevadors. They worked perfectly well, and showed no signs of losing their cooling ability.

  Scott,

  We can’t help you out as we are not appraisers.

  I just bought a Bevador from an old bar in chicago two weeks ago. I paid $300 for it. It’s complete but the latch is incorrect. I’m getting ready to restore it but mine has NO neon. Where is the neon you guys are talking about? I mean physically on the fridge, were does the neon go?

• 54 Ron Garrett // Sep 22, 2011 at 7:55 pm

  Hey all, I am in Indianapolis and just got a Bevador and it’s complete but I don’t see that it EVER had any neon? Where does the neon go that you are talking about? Thanks.

• 55 Ron Garrett // Sep 25, 2011 at 7:47 pm
