Lie about secure provision for the smarter patrons? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
lounge bar
'provision for the smarter patrons?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'lie about secure' is the wordplay.
'lie about' becomes 'lounge' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'secure' becomes 'bar' (barring is a kind of securing).
'lounge'+'bar'='LOUNGE-BAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lounge bar that I've seen before include "drinking-hole" , "part of hotel, perhaps" , "saloon" , "Where one may have stout" .)
