drawing room

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

'an entertaining place' is the definition.
'drawing room' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'place of entertainment' mean 'drawing room' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'drawing room'). I'm unsure of the 'an entertaining' bit.

'minor war god made to look silly' is the wordplay.
'made to look silly' indicates anagramming the letters (a silly spelling).
'minor'+'war'+'god'='minorwargod'
'minorwargod' is an anagram of 'DRAWING-ROOM'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for drawing room that I've seen before include "place of entertainment" , "Formal reception chamber" , "Type of parlour" , "Part of house" , "Part of art school" .)
