Club round the corner, by front of town clock (9)
I believe the answer is:
nightspot
'club' is the definition.
(I know that club can be written as nightspot)
'round the corner by front of town clock' is the wordplay.
'round the corner' becomes 'nigh' (nigh means nearby or approaching).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'front of' indicates taking the first letters.
'clock' becomes 'spot' (clock can mean to notice or spot).
The first letter of 'town' is 't'.
'nigh'+'t'+'spot'='NIGHTSPOT'
(Other definitions for nightspot that I've seen before include "Place for after-dark entertainment" , "club, perhaps" , "Club, disco" , "venue providing entertainment" .)
