A modular beverage dispenser for engagement with bag-in-box or other source of pressurized concentrate and a pressurized ambient water source, such as city water, is provided. The dispenser has a housing having housing walls, the walls defining an interior space, the interior having interior walls defining a multiple of interior spaces. The housing engages either a flange (configured to engage a perimeter of a countertop drop-in cutout) or legs configured to depend downward from the housing to support the same above a support surface. An ice container is provided for receiving ice therein configured to engage the housing so as to be substantially within the interior space. A cold plate is provided with a multiplicity of cold plate contained fluid lines therein adapted to engage the ice container so as to be cooled by the contents thereof. A carbonator is located in a first interior space. A carbonator pump and motor is located in a second interior space. A flow control and manifold assembly is provided, including a python and a bar gun having a nozzle adapted to dispense a beverage therefrom; a multiplicity of fluid lines are provided for engaging the cold plate containing the cold plate fluid lines, wherein the near ends of the fluid lines engage either a concentrate source (such as bag-in-box) or a water source, and the removed ends of the fluid lines engage the flow control and manifold assembly through a coupling member having an on/off switch. The cold plate includes an extension with a recess designed to receive at least some of the exterior of the carbonator. The multiplicity of fluid lines includes a line configured to pre-chill and post-chill the carbonated water, before delivering it to the coupling member.
