Building’s bar area storing large quantity of beer? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotunda

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

'building's' is the definition.
(rotunda is a kind of building)

'bar area storing large quantity of beer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bar' could be 't' (T-bar is a part of a ski lift) and 't' is present in the answer.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'quantity' could be 'round' (round is a kind of quantity) and 'round' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
