Twists at the bar with fresh melons (6)

I believe the answer is:

lemons

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'twists at the bar' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fresh melons' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'melons' with letters rearranged gives 'LEMONS'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lemons that I've seen before include "Could strange melons be citrus?" , "Citrus friuts" , "Strangely melons could be citrus fruits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
