Topless bar: stand to get strong drink (6)
I believe the answer is:
arrack
'strong drink' is the definition.
(arrack is a kind of strong drink)
'topless bar stand' is the wordplay.
'topless' means to remove the first letter.
'stand' becomes 'rack' ('rack' can be a synonym of 'stand'**).
'bar' with its first letter removed is 'ar'.
'ar'+'rack'='ARRACK'
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for arrack that I've seen before include "Liquor" , "Alcoholic spirit" , "Coarse spirit" .)
