This could be a double definition.

'pub' is the first definition.
(an inn is a type of pub)

'popular when granted extension?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Hotel with lodging for travellers" , "Hostelry, tavern" , "Tavern with lodgings" , "One of Lincoln's" , "Pub with lodging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
