Cheap pub to bring in wicked blokes ahead of time (7-8)

'cheap' is the definition.

'pub to bring in wicked blokes ahead of time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'pub' could be 'bar' (both are drinking establishments) and 'bar' is found within the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
'wicked' could be 'base' (similar in meaning) and 'base' is located in the answer.
'blokes' could be 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man) and 'men' is found within the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
