Crossword Genius

See hundred drink in this place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locale

'this place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'see hundred drink' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic word meaning 'look!').
'hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'drink' becomes 'ale' (ale is a kind of drink).
'lo'+'c'+'ale'='LOCALE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for locale that I've seen before include "Scene of event or occurrence" , "Venue" , "where something happens" , "Setting" , "Spot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
