hobart

'where' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'steamy around the bar?' is the wordplay.
'steamy' becomes 'hot' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'hot' placed around 'bar' is 'HOBART'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hobart that I've seen before include "Capital city of 10 across" , "Destination of an annual yacht race starting at Sydney" , "Tasmania's capital" , "Port of Tasmania" , "Tasmanian city" .)
