Drink very quietly over in Syrian city (6)
I believe the answer is:
aleppo
'syrian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drink very quietly over' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'very quietly' becomes 'pp' (musical abbreviation for pianissimo).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'ale'+'pp'+'o'='ALEPPO'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Ancient city, in Syria" , "City in Syria - lop ape (anag)" , "Largest city in Syria before the massive damage of the civil war" , "Lap Poe around the Syrian city" , "Foreign city" .)
