I must be seen in factory watering-hole — there's a bit of pressure (8)

I believe the answer is:

millibar

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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for millibar that I've seen before include "Amount of pressure" , "no great pressure" , "Unit of atmospheric pressure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
