Is Ms Arena able to make a bar? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cantina

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

'bar?' is the definition.
(I know that cantina is a type of bar)

'is ms arena able to make a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'able' could be 'can' and 'can' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tin' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cantina that I've seen before include "Concern for drinkers" , "rural Mexican bar" , "Bar in Spain (or Star Wars)" , "Spanish bar; Italian wine shop" , "Spanish wine-shop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
