Review from Bob T.

The food at this place is good because the chef on down the line seem to genuinely take pride in the Intersteer's distinction along Roncesvalles. The quality and creativity in the menu - combined with competitive pricing - have stapled this kitchen and the staff up front, to the fabric of Roncesvalles.
Don't change. Don't change anything.

This is my go-to place for meeting up with friends who live in Ronccy.
And being creatures of habit, we always get pub food like the nachos ($10.95) and poutine ($6.95). The nachos come in a huge heaping pile, enough to feed 4 people. They also have have poutine perogies ($6.95)on the menu...um, YES!
Not a great selection of beers on tap (Steamwhistle, Keiths, Cool, Stella) which is why we always get the jumbo bottles of Polish beer, Zywiec.
I like Intersteer because it's just a very laid back place for drinks, snacks and catching up. -

I am long familiar with this bar but I ate dinner there for the first time on the weekend.
I have to say that the renovations (old news now) are beautiful as they kept the original look and feel. I also have to say that I really miss the old days where the bathrooms had scented tree car fresheners hanging and where there was a garbage pale smack dab in the middle of the place to catch leaks. The old days I would only drink bottles of labatt 50 (esti!) as that is what you did at the intersteer.
The new (okay its not that new) bar has a great food selection including POUTINE PEROGIES. I felt like I was already sweating cheese and meat from the past few days so I opted for a vegetairian option which was a pumpkin tofu pinenut sundried tomato sandwhich that came with salad. It was amazing. I had a glass of white wine and it was a nice meal.
Staff is nice and the still have the jukebox so really what more could want? Oh and also they have a patio they are building in the back...it is ready pending approval from the city, which is on strike. -

This update is for one item and one item only.
That item is the Friday Special Fish & Chips.
Okay: here is the basic description: Nori wrapped Tilapia in tempura batter, on a bed of Asian slaw, served with Lotus root chips.
Shut up right! This is pub food done at a level so above and beyond that the only resemblance left is the price. The fish is done to perfection and the batter is light and crunchy, the slaw is indescribably creamy and fresh tasting, and the lotus root chips (which are more chips in the mode of potato chips than chips-chips) are just incredible crunchy/salty little delicacies. The whole thing is ridiculous and I will be at the Intersteer every Friday from now till perpetuity stuffing my face with it.
p.s. all the other new specials are really good...but like, the fish, holy fuck...Listed in: Favourite TO Bars

Truly a perfect 'local' bar.

Intersteer is truly priceless, a longtime haunt for grubby locals on Roncesvalles. With its beat-up pool table, jukebox, and excess of wood panelling, this bizarrely-named watering hole was always a great place to get smashed on cheap beer. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
It's all the more interesting, then, that Intersteer relocated a few doors down the street not too long ago, replicating the old-world decor of the old location exactly. At first, the new place seemed a little too clean, and it didn't have the musty smell from years of smoke. But the grizzled regulars seem to have migrated successfully. Intersteer also seems to draw a few more hipsters than before, possibly because of the slight decrease in its "dive" factor. -

the Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
I've been to Intersteer several times, mainly because of the food. They offer delightfully fresh and tasty chicken and pumpkin sandwiches. Salads are prepared with gourmet finesse, often featuring pine nuts, just enough balsamic, and some citrus flavouring. The perogies are just like you want them. The value is unbeatable - every dish is under or near $10.
Ultimately, it's a bar, and the inside is nicely furnished. The main issue is the ambience, and that's usually because of the music. It's either a jukebox at the whim of the clientele (and it goes silent when it's not fed with money) or some pretty bizarre musical acts that have turned customers, including myself, out to the street earlier than expected. Once they can figure out the soundtrack, this place will be very close to a 5.

the Friday fish & chips are totally delicious and I will definitely be back again for more. They need to work on their draught beer selection but other than that, thumbs up.
