Anger about commotion outside hotel's American bar (9)
I believe the answer is:
roadhouse
'bar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'anger about commotion outside hotel's american' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'american' could be 'us' (abbreviation for United States) and 'us' is found in the answer.
'hotel' could be 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'h' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roadhouse that I've seen before include "pub, by the way" , "accommodation" , "Country inn" , "place of refreshment" .)
