man-about-town
Worldly city denizen
A man-about-town is a fashionable, socially active man who frequents stylish venues and knows the right people.
The term suggests sophistication, leisure, and urban nightlife—someone seen at the best restaurants, clubs, and parties: He fancied himself a man-about-town, always at the newest opening.
The phrase is somewhat dated but still used, often with gentle irony.
