Where to drink during November (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inn

'where to drink' is the definition.
(place serving drinks)

'during november' is the wordplay.
'during' becomes 'in' (e.g. during February means in February).
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in'+'n'='INN'

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Pub with lodging" , "pubs?" , ". . . of the Sixth Happiness (film)" , "Hostel" , "Small hotel or country pub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
