Visible location for a tavern, we hear (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in sight

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

'visible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'location for a tavern we hear' is the wordplay.
'location' becomes 'sight' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a tavern' becomes 'inn' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'inn' sounds like 'in'.
'sight' put after 'in' is 'IN SIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in sight that I've seen before include "Visible" , "Within view" , "just ahead" .)
