With the exception of (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bar

'with the exception of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bar that I've seen before include "Local" , "Prohibit - drinking place" , "Barristers - band" , "Watering hole" , "Prohibit; counter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Wall Street Journal.
