Black 3-ply compostable paper straws, 197mm × 6mm, 5,000 per case. Used by cocktail bars, premium restaurants and hospitality venues across Ireland where the black straw is a deliberate presentation choice rather than a default. Three layers of compostable paper give these straws enough structural integrity to last through a full drink without going soggy — the most common complaint with cheap single-ply alternatives. The solid black colour presents cleanly against both light and dark drinks — it disappears into the glass rather than competing with the drink. Compostable and biodegradable, so they can go out with food waste. 5,000 per case, packed as 50×100.

What Makes These Black Paper Straws Work

The 3-ply construction is the key difference between a paper straw that works and one that collapses halfway through a cocktail. Three bonded layers of compostable paper give the straw enough rigidity to hold its shape through a full cold drink — including thick smoothies and milkshakes where a single-ply straw would buckle within minutes.

The black colour is the other reason most cocktail bars and premium restaurants choose these over the red and white alternative. Black straws read as intentional — they match dark glassware, work with minimalist table settings, and don’t draw the eye away from the drink. For operations where presentation is part of the service, the black straw is the right call.

At 197mm × 6mm, this is a standard cocktail and cold drink straw — long enough for a tall glass, narrow enough for a standard lid hole. For wider bore needs like bubble tea or very thick shakes, see our 8mm kraft bamboo straws. For a shorter cocktail straw, see our 140mm × 5mm black cocktail straws. Compostable certification means these straws can go out with food waste. Biodegradable and plastic-free throughout. BPA free. Compliant with the EU single-use plastics directive.

Straw Size Guide

Go with the 197mm × 6mm if you’re doing standard cocktails, cold drinks and smoothies. Drop to the 140mm if you’re serving short drinks where a full-length straw looks out of place. Step up to the 8mm if the drink is thick enough that a 6mm straw creates resistance.

Who Uses These

• Cocktail bars and premium restaurants — the black straw is the standard choice for operations where presentation is part of the service across Dublin, Cork and Galway; it reads as intentional rather than default
• Hotels and hospitality venues — black straws match dark glassware and minimalist table settings; used for cocktail service and cold drinks across Limerick, Belfast and Sligo
• Restaurants and cafes — cold drinks, smoothies and soft drinks service; compostable disposal fits with food waste streams already in place
• Events and catering — 5,000 per case makes these practical for high-volume events across Donegal, Cavan and Derry where plastic straws are no longer an option

Common with cocktail bars and premium restaurants across Ireland that want a paper straw that looks deliberate — the black colour and 3-ply construction are the two reasons most operations choose these over the red and white alternative.
