regulars
Familiar bar faces
Regulars are people who frequent a place habitually—the familiar faces at a bar, café, or gym who show up consistently enough to be recognized: The bartender knew all the regulars by name.
In military contexts, regulars are professional soldiers in a standing army, as opposed to reserves or militia.
Regular as an adjective describes what is normal, standard, or occurring at fixed intervals.
