Swordsman in bar sure to get drunk (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sabreur

'swordsman' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bar sure to get drunk' is the wordplay.
'to get drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bar'+'sure'='barsure'
'barsure' with letters rearranged gives 'SABREUR'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sabreur that I've seen before include "Cutting edge fighter" , "sword" , "Calvalryman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
