People who visit a place or do something frequently and consistently.
From Latin regularis (from regula 'rule'). A regular is someone who follows a pattern or rule by returning consistently. The plural 'regulars' became common in English by the 1600s.
The phrase 'bar regulars' became iconic in American culture and literature because these were people known so well by staff that they didn't need to order—they had their own seats and drinks, creating a community within anonymity.
