I believe the answer is:

san bernardino

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us city' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'barons unhappy with a dinner' is the wordplay.
'unhappy with' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'dinner'='adinner'
'barons' mixed up with 'adinner' can make 'SAN BERNARDINO'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for san bernardino that I've seen is " pass".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
