Pub scuffles for handcarts (7)
I believe the answer is:
barrows
'for handcarts' is the definition.
(barrow is a kind of handcart)
'pub scuffles' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'scuffles' becomes 'rows' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bar'+'rows'='BARROWS'
(Other definitions for barrows that I've seen before include "decomposing mounds" , "Places formerly used for burying" , "They're found in gardens'" , "Handcarts" .)
