What street vendor might use in pub altercation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barrow

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

'what street vendor might use' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'pub altercation' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'altercation' becomes 'row' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bar'+'row'='BARROW'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barrow that I've seen before include "Cart used by street vendor" , "Garden cart" , "Grave mound - wheeled handcart" , "Small hand-propelled cart" , "Northern town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
