Popped in recently to have a drink with a friend. The Regent, an Edinburgh institution for many years was as I always remembered. Recently reopened due to covid, it was lovely to be back. The familiar buzz and relaxed atmosphere was just perfect. Yes, there was no music (in Scotland we’re not allowed to have music in bars during pandemic, it’s a safety measure), but despite that a wonderful drink in a wonderful atmosphere. And I for one felt really safe. Many thanks guys.

The Regent is a truly wonderful Bar :) The Staff are brilliant and the atmosphere fantastic. They care for staff and customers with their outstanding efforts to make the bar safe in these COVID times. I highly recommend this bar for a lovely going out experience. Fab choice of drinks, friendly staff and has a great cozy feel. Very LGBT plus friendly. I can't praise this venue enough :)

Really enjoy my times here.... so pleased they are open again. Friendly staff working really hard to keep everybody safe in the new world we live in. Visited many times before the pandemic & good to see them back now.... quiet drink early doors or later with a group of friends.... always good fun....

Lovely, friendly little local. Food is tasty too. A good selection of drinks and real ale. Really appreciate all the efforts these guys have went to to make the bar covid safe. Looking forward to visiting again soon. A firm favourite for many years, that I don't visit nearly enough. Keep up the good work :)

Words can not describe how tragic this bar was. No music, no atmosphere, rude staff. Turning people away on a Friday night at 10 30pm when the place was virtually empty god knows how this place manages to stay open. With all this Covid nonsense it’s basically not worth going out especially to this bar. At 11 o clock the pompous bar man rings the bell and says you have 5 mins to finish your drink and leave. What a dump I won’t be returning. I feel sorry for the people of Edinburgh if they think this is a normal gay bar.

A wee group of us decided to go here due to the overcrowding of all the city centre bars/restaurants. I am so glad we did. Friendly warm atmosphere served up by attentive staff and good food. The beef chilli was amazing. I got the impression that the food was cooked offsite and then Chef Mike reheated it but honestly you would think that it was your mums comfort food from home. Top marks and very happy customers. The winter special of mulled wine had my friend feeling bliss.
Keep up the great work and don't stop smiling :-)
