A tavern in point (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inn

'a tavern' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in point' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'in'+'n'='INN'

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Gray's, Lincoln's" , "watering hole" , "Roadhouse" , "Local" , "eg the Tabard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
