Evening watching telly perhaps with good beer in Florence? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nightingale

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

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

'evening watching telly perhaps with good beer in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'evening' could be 'night' (I've seen this before) and 'night' is present in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found in the answer.
'beer' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is located in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nightingale that I've seen before include "See 17" , "See 13" , "one tweets" , "Subject of 11 [ODE]" , "One singing sweetly after dark" .)
