'invited in' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'opening new tavern one' is the wordplay.
'opening' is an insertion indicator (some letters open a gap in others).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'tavern' anagrammed gives 'arvent'.
'arvent' going around 'i' is 'AIR VENT'.
