Consort with drunkard around front of pub (6)
I believe the answer is:
spouse
'consort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drunkard around front of pub' is the wordplay.
'drunkard' becomes 'souse' (souse is a kind of drunkard).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'front of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'pub' is 'p'.
'souse' enclosing 'p' is 'SPOUSE'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for spouse that I've seen before include "Possibly wife" , "Very hot and dry" , "Married partner" , "Elizabethan dance" , "mate" .)
