Trendy name for a pub (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inn

'a pub' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'trendy name' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in'.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'in'+'n'='INN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Country pub, often with accommodation" , "Jamaica, for one" , "Local" , "Gray's, Lincoln's" , "Hotel or public house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
