Renowned inn — meet to get sloshed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eminent

'renowned' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'inn meet to get sloshed' is the wordplay.
'to get sloshed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'inn'+'meet'='innmeet'
'innmeet' with letters rearranged gives 'EMINENT'.

(Other definitions for eminent that I've seen before include "Met nine who were distinguished" , "Respected; outstanding" , "Respected; distinguished" , "Outstanding or distinguished (7)" , "Exalted in rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
