Pub I found in town’s turning luxurious (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sybaritic

'luxurious' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'pub i found in town's turning' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'town's' becomes 'city's' (city is a type of town).
'turning' is a reversal indicator.
'citys' written backwards gives 'sytic'.
'bar'+'i'='bari'
'bari' inserted into 'sytic' is 'SYBARITIC'.

(Other definitions for sybaritic that I've seen before include "Hedonistic" , "Affording, enjoying, luxury" , "Devoted to luxury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
