Somewhere in LA likewise being picked up in bar — you can bet on it (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
baton rouge
'somewhere in la' is the definition.
(capital of Louisiana - abbreviated as LA)
'picked up in bar you can bet on it' is the wordplay.
'picked up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in bar' becomes 'notab' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'you can bet on it' becomes 'rouge' (as in roulette - red or black, rouge ou noir).
'notab' backwards is 'baton'.
'baton'+'rouge'='BATON ROUGE'
'likewise being' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for baton rouge that I've seen before include "Capital of Louisiana" , "state capital" , "Here you'll see some Americans" , "somewhere in LA" .)
