Secure with rope, fitting reverse bar (7)
I believe the answer is:
taproom
'bar' is the definition.
(I know that taproom is a type of bar)
'secure with rope fitting reverse' is the wordplay.
'secure' becomes 'moor' (mooring is a kind of securing).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'rope fitting' becomes 'pat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'reverse' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'moor'+'pat'='moorpat'
'moorpat' reversed gives 'TAPROOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taproom that I've seen before include "Hotel bar" , "liquor shop" , "Source of beer" , "Type of bar" , "part of pub" .)
