Dance and drink: pub closing early (5)
I believe the answer is:
rumba
'dance' is the definition.
(rumba is a kind of dance)
'drink pub closing early' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink).
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'closing early' means to remove the last letter.
'bar' with its final letter taken off is 'ba'.
'rum'+'ba'='RUMBA'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "Afro-Cuban or ballroom dance" , "Cuban folk-dance" , "number of steps" , "Lively Cuban dance" , "music one can dance to" .)
