Taverns in the capitals of Norway and Sweden (4)
I believe the answer is:
inns
'taverns' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in the capitals of norway and sweden' is the wordplay.
'the capitals of' says to take the initial letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sweden' becomes 's'.
The initial letter of 'norway' is 'n'.
'in'+'n'+'s'='INNS'
(Other definitions for inns that I've seen before include "Bars" , "Old-time hostelries" , "More than one pub" , "Roadhouses or courthouses" , "King's ..., for the legal eagles" .)
