soapdish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be one containing bar?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unusual shop said' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shop'+'said'='shopsaid'
'shopsaid' with letters rearranged gives 'SOAPDISH'.

'to' is the link.
