Venue guide

About the venue

The Regent is an LGBTQ+ pub on Montrose Terrace in Edinburgh, offering a more relaxed alternative to the city centre’s late-night queer bars and clubs. Its atmosphere is closer to a traditional local pub, making it well suited to conversation and casual drinks.

The venue has a long-standing reputation as a welcoming gay pub and attracts people who value a quieter social setting over a dancefloor. That makes it useful for daytime or early-evening visits as well as for locals looking for a regular community pub.

Because it sits a little away from the busiest nightlife streets, the Regent feels distinct from Edinburgh’s larger LGBTQ+ venues. It is a good example of queer space centred on everyday pub culture rather than event-led nightlife.
