The black bar condiment holder in two lines
This is the black bar condiment holder with six compartments: a garnish station for the bar, 49 centimetres long, with a lid, for anyone keeping several different garnishes ready.
Who it is for
For anyone running more than four garnishes in line. Six compartments on the same outside footprint means narrower trays, and that is the price you pay.
Kept apart, with no flavours crossing over
This is the reason a garnish station has compartments instead of being one open tub. Brined olives next to orange zest cross over within the hour, and the guest tastes it in the drink before anyone notices behind the bar. With the black bar condiment holder every garnish has its own space, and whatever runs stays in its own compartment.

When six compartments are too many
When the garnishes are large. A full orange wheel has to go in a narrow compartment edge on, and picking it up takes two fingers instead of one: over two hundred drinks that slowness adds up. The black bar condiment holder gives its best on olives, cherries, zest and cubes, that is on everything you pick up with tongs or two fingers.
The real count is not how many you have
It is how many you keep ready. A list can carry ten different garnishes and use six a night: the other four sit in the fridge and come up when they are called for. Filling every compartment because it is there is the mistake that ends with fruit in the bin at close, and a half full station soils more than it needs to.
The height, which decides where it goes
Seventeen and a half centimetres work on the back bar and not on the front. On a bar counter in full view a tall container separates the person making the drink from the person watching, and that separation costs more than the convenience it gives. For the front there are the low steel models, which stop at nine centimetres and let the eye through.
The lid during the quiet spells
Close it as soon as the pace drops, not at the end of the night. A cut citrus face starts drying within half an hour, and a dried slice shows: the edge curls and the colour turns. Through peak service it stays open, because opening and closing it on every drink costs more than the protection it gives.
Care
Daily wash of trays, lid and body. With six compartments there is more surface and more edges, so wash with the trays taken out rather than wiping a cloth around the inside: the sugary liquid sits in the corners between one tray and the next, and that is what turns into a smell.
Where it goes on the bar
At the point the hand reaches without moving the body, and from there it never moves again. A garnish station is like a speed rail: the value is not in the container but in the garnishes always being in the same place. Shifting it twenty centimetres to make room for a large order costs a whole night of misplaced gestures.
FAQ
How many trays does the black bar condiment holder have? Six, with a lid.
How long is it? Forty nine centimetres, the same as the four compartment model.
Why six instead of four? To keep more garnishes apart, in exchange for narrower compartments.
Does it take large slices? Less well: narrow compartments give their best on olives, cherries and zest.
Can it go on the front of the bar? It is 17.5cm tall, so it builds a wall: a low model suits the front better.
Do the trays go in the fridge? Yes, they lift out and go in covered at the end of service.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
