'a solution to that problem at the bar' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'globe missing from strobe light? find' is the wordplay.
'missing from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'find' is an anagram indicator.
'strobe'+'light'='strobelight'
'strobelight' with 'globe' taken away is 'striht'.
'striht' is an anagram of 'THIRST'.
