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

'neighbourhood pub's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Confined to a limited area" , "One's nearest pub" , "stopping train" , "round the corner" , "hearing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
