Uncivilised pubs with insufficient ice (8)
I believe the answer is:
barbaric
'uncivilised' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'pubs with insufficient ice' is the wordplay.
'pubs' becomes 'bar bar' (two bars).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'insufficient' means to remove the last letter.
'ice' with its last letter taken away is 'ic'.
'barbar'+'ic'='BARBARIC'
(Other definitions for barbaric that I've seen before include "lacking in refinement" , "Savage and cruel" , "Uncivilized" , "Rabbi car for rough and uncivilised" , "Cruel and brutal" .)
