Ross

I believe the answer is:

client

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

'patron' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'club let in drunk' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'c' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'let'+'in'='letin'
'letin' anagrammed gives 'lient'.
'c'+'lient'='CLIENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for client that I've seen before include "One represented by lawyer" , "Customer - dependant" , "Person represented by lawyer" , "Computer program" , "Employer of professional" .)
