At home abstaining, having drunk cider inside bar (9)

I believe the answer is:

interdict

'bar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'at home abstaining having drunk cider' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'abstaining' becomes 'tt' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'having' is an insertion indicator.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'cider' anagrammed gives 'erdic'.
'tt' enclosing 'erdic' is 'terdict'.
'in'+'terdict'='INTERDICT'

'inside' acts as a link.
