Shortly drunk outside English pub (8)
I believe the answer is:
hostelry
'pub' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'shortly drunk outside english' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'shortly' is an anagram of 'hostlry'.
'hostlry' placed around 'e' is 'HOSTELRY'.
(Other definitions for hostelry that I've seen before include "bar?" , "Provider of accommodation" , "Inn - tavern" , "Lodging house" , "Inn (arch., joc.)" .)
