Eucalyptus bush, one seen in trendy pub (8)

I believe the answer is:

coolibar

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

'eucalyptus' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Australian eucalyptus ' mean 'coolibar' so perhaps 'eucalyptus' could also mean 'coolibar')

'one seen in trendy pub' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'seen in' indicates putting letters inside.
'trendy' becomes 'cool' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'cool'+'bar'='coolbar'
'i' placed into 'coolbar' is 'COOLIBAR'.

'bush' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for coolibar that I've seen is " Australian eucalyptus".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
