I don't feel comfortable using the Americanism "guy" but "chap" seems both old fashioned and pretentious. "Bloke", which used to be used in Australia, went out of fashion when I was a child.
What do you think?

And then a guy came in and bought a pint  Think you've answered your own question,  , as long as he's buying the drinks you can call him what you like.

I use the Harry Enfield term. Peeps.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Talking to the person it would be mate. Everyone in that example is mate because I’m rubbish with names.
Talking about the man down the road it would be bloke or fella.
