Visible location for a tavern, we hear (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in sight

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

'visible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'location for a tavern we hear' is the wordplay.
'location' becomes 'sight' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a tavern' becomes 'inn' (I've seen this in another clue).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'inn' sounds like 'in'.
'sight' after 'in' is 'IN SIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in sight that I've seen before include "Visible" , "Within view" , "just ahead" .)
