I vote #4. No one wants to ask someone else to move just to grab a beer. And I wouldn't want people moving into the work space to get a drink. I'm not sure what the symmetry problem is with this option. Can't you just adjust the other cabinet sizes to get good proportions on that run?

For #4, not sure why you would have to recess into the wall. Most beverage fridges fit in a standard base cabinet depth. Worst case, you just pull out the adjacent base cabinets a few inches and then put your counter over the whole thing. You would need deeper end panels to cover the gap behind the pulled out drawer/cabinet bases.

I pulled out all the base cabinets on my sink wall to make sure I had plenty of room between my faucet and the window behind it. The counter was fabricated a bit deeper to cover the whole thing. This is done quite often and not something that your would really notice unless you were measuring the kitchen.

I can’t have full depth cabinets there because it wouldn’t leave enough clearance for our dining table.
