Crossword Genius

Pub staff (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bar

This clue is a double definition.

'pub' is the first definition.
(both are drinking establishments)

'staff' is the second definition.
(both can mean a pole or stick)

(Other definitions for bar that I've seen before include "Watering hole" , "Pub; restriction" , "Establishment for the serving of alcoholic drinks" , "Except - lawyers" , "Public house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
