In the neighbourhood of the pub? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

local

This clue is a double definition.

'in the neighbourhood' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pub?' is the second definition.
(one's local pub)

'of the' is the link.

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "belonging to particular area?" , "Pub - not far away" , "Belonging to a particular place" , "Restricted number" , "In the vicinity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
