Pub, a place for souvlaki and retsina? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taverna

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

'for souvlaki and retsina?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'pub a' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'tavern' (a tavern is a pub or inn).
'tavern'+'a'='TAVERNA'

'place' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taverna that I've seen before include "pub" , "Greek guesthouse" , "Greek inn" , "Greek bar/restaurant" , "Small Greek restaurant with bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
