    Until I get the time to write a proper review this mini-review will have to do.

    We have been coming to this place for many, many years and it remains a go to place for a beer and conversation with friends. I like a bar that has its own character and I like a bar that feels like you have stepped into another time and another place - Inter Steer does just that.

    Five stars because the Żywiec is always cold, the service is friendly, and TCM is always playing on the TV behind the bar.

    A bit dated, but still a nice spot, with lots of space.  Friendly servers, but I did get the feeling we were hanging out with them, rather than they were working to maximize our experience- I don't think the bartender's conversation should be the loudest  at the bar, nor should they have no music playing.

    But fine prices and I really enjoyed my gooey, super-unhealthy nacho pierogies .... they felt like quality ballpark food, given the processed cheese smothered over everything, but they were tasty.

    What I don't get, at all, ever, (and this costs them a star) is why the server would choose to debate with my vegan GF about whether or not honey is vegan.  If the customer feels that it's not, it's not.  Don't debate them about it.  

    And FWIW, honey is not vegan.

    Truthfully I preferred the old IS.
    If was more dive bar then, interesting characters, etc.
    Now it's a bar, another bar. Nothing exciting.

    My favourite stopover on Roncy.

    There are many options here, but the standard course is to loosen up with some ice cold bottles of Żywiec, sate your hunger with some perogy nachos, and top that off with an apple pie (shot of Żubrówka served with a slice of Granny Smith apple and a salty pretzel stick).

    InterSteer has a groovy interior, an old school NY tavern feel, even though it's apparently not old. Wood surfaces and burgundies make the place feel dimly lit. Booth tables are small and feel intimate (fit 2, squeeze 4).

    It's nearly empty at times, very busy at others, there are always some regulars. Service is friendly and easygoing. Can be quiet, so it's not a bad place to work. There is wifi, just ask for the password. Sports TV plays in the pool table / jukebox area in the back, but TCM plays at the bar. A classy touch.

    $5 piña coladas, need I really say more? The food is decent but the drink specials are really where it's at
