Party outside harms awfully quiet US bar (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dramshop

'us bar' is the definition.

'party outside harms awfully quiet' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'harms' is an anagram of 'ramsh'.
'do' enclosing 'ramsh' is 'dramsho'.
'dramsho'+'p'='DRAMSHOP'
