Taverns in the capitals of Norway and Sweden (4)
I believe the answer is:
inns
'taverns' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in the capitals of norway and sweden' is the wordplay.
'the capitals of' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sweden' becomes 's'.
The first letter of 'norway' is 'n'.
'in'+'n'+'s'='INNS'
(Other definitions for inns that I've seen before include "Bars" , "Old-time hostelries" , "More than one pub" , "Roadhouses or courthouses" , "King's ..., for the legal eagles" .)
