A Liberal bar, one attracting a European state (7)
I believe the answer is:
albania
'european state' is the definition.
(country in Europe)
'a liberal bar one attracting a' is the wordplay.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'bar' becomes 'ban' (I've seen this before).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'attracting' says to put letters next to each other.
'a'+'l'+'ban'+'i'+'a'='ALBANIA'
(Other definitions for albania that I've seen before include "Mediterranean country" , "Country W of Macedonia" , "State" , "Eastern European country" , "Tirana is the capital city" .)
