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

'local worker' is the definition.
'barman' can be an answer for 'worker' (barman is a kind of worker). I am not sure about the 'local' bit.

'local worker' is the wordplay.
'local' becomes 'bar' (local can mean someone's local pub).
'worker' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of worker).
'bar'+'man'='BARMAN'

Can you help me to learn more?
