Drinking establishment in chic port city (6)
I believe the answer is:
hobart
'city' is the definition.
(Hobart is an example)
'drinking establishment in chic port' is the wordplay.
'drinking establishment' becomes 'bar' (place that serves drinks).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'chic port' becomes 'hot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bar' going inside 'hot' is 'HOBART'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hobart that I've seen before include "Port of Tasmania" , "Tasmanian capital" , "Tasmanian port" , "Australian city" , "Australian state capital" .)
