pub regular

Frequent tavern visitor

A pub regular is someone who frequents a particular pub often enough to be recognized by staff and other patrons.

Regulars typically have established relationships with bartenders, may have a usual seat or drink, and form part of the pub's social fabric: The pub regulars gathered for their Thursday quiz night.

The term applies to any establishment's repeat customers but is most associated with British pub culture.
