habitue

Always there type

A habitue is a person who frequents a particular place—a regular.

The word retains its French flavor and often appears with the accent: habitué.

It typically describes someone who is a fixture at a bar, café, club, or cultural venue: a habitue of the jazz scene, habitues of the local pub.
