The second time I have visited, first time with my wife and sons then with my two sons. Great beer and atmosphere.
The music is a fantastic mix in the Regent, it's the sort of place where everyone is made to feel welcome, no matter who you are.
So popular you may need to book a table, although you can just walk in.
Unfortunately they'd ran out of plum porter but I was reassured by the Hawaiian shirted bar man that it would be making a return.


Absolutely love this bar. Was lucky to get home for three weeks two months ago. I tried to go as often as possible in the evenings whilst in Edinburgh. The owners and the team are fantastic. Great atmosphere and nice and cosy. Regular clients are very friendly. Had many a great evening and always welcoming. Also had nice local drinks. Next time I am back will be in again.

My wife and I were staying nearby, and came in on the way back from the Old Town one night....we then visited every night after that, and even met a friend from Edinburgh in here for a Saturday night drink.
Living in London, we have a multitude of pubs nearby, but none with the warmth, the friendliness and laid back atmosphere that The Regent has. Its how all pubs should be, welcoming to everyone and everyone made to feel like they are a regular
Good selection of beers (haven't had Deuchars for years after our London local stopped selling it, was like meeting an old friend) wines, spirits. A varied snack selection and huge bowls of freshly made popcorn incase you get the munchies.
The staff are excellent and a part of why this is a wonderful pub - London pubs won't feel the same anymore. Hopefully we will be back X

Had went to cc blooms and got looked up and down for wearing rubber and was told you can't wear that stuff in here ! I didn't realise for a gay bar they could be so inconclusive. Was advised to try regent as I'm new to Edinburgh so glad I did such a lovely bar fantastic staff and the felloe customer's make you feel like you've known them for. Years 110% recommend

Or rather, it is not a gay pub. It's a lovely pub with gay people in it. Great mixed crowd, laid back atmosphere, great choice of drinks.
We're trying very hard to move up from London at the moment, and can't wait until this is our regular drinkery.

Just around the corner from where we were staying and a really great pub. Quite a traditional feel, but very young and fresh at the same time,
Great gay vibe, but more a feeling of inclusivity than trying to put any label on it.
