A multi-sided, invertible holder for beverage containers or the like comprises a hollow receptacle with a plurality of pairs of flat sides. A preferred embodiment is a hollow cube configuration having six flat sides. Four sides have holes through side walls; one side has a slot extending the length of the side wall; and another side has a hole through the side wall and a slot extending radially outward from the hole, and another side has a solid side wall. In use, the holder sits on a generally level surface and may be inverted such that any one of the side walls is on the top side to slidably receive a beverage container or other open top receptacle while the opposed bottom flat surface provides a stable supporting base. The invertible holder provides sufficient stability to prevent tipping or spilling the contents of the container. The plurality of apertured sides allow the holder to accommodate various sizes and shapes of beverage containers including cylindrical, tapered, or square beverage containers, or containers having handles.
