West Side club? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wedge

'club?' is the definition.
(wedge is a kind of club)

'west side' is the wordplay.
'west' becomes 'w' ('W' can be a synonym of 'west').
'side' becomes 'edge' (edge is a kind of side**).
'w'+'edge'='WEDGE'

(Other definitions for wedge that I've seen before include "Golf club, V-shape" , "Splitting device" , "Significant amount of money (informal)" , "Tapering block" , "Jam" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
