The Regent Hotel is a popular local pub on the bustling end of Anzac Parade. Drawn to its laid back atmosphere, good quality cheap steaks and pool tables, the pub attracts a diverse crowd, from students from the University of New South Wales, thespians studying at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts, punters from Randwick racecourse and local business people.

The pub has entertainment for everyone. While large screens drop down for major sporting events, students armed with their special REGE cards can often be found slouching on leather lounges or having a relaxing game of pool.

Back in 1976, Aussie rock legend Peter Garrett and now Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, played his first Midnight Oil set at the pub. The Regent locals often hit the dancefloor to great hits and party till the wee hours with the late opening times.
