Taylor Swift was recently in Toronto on the second-last stop of the Eras Tour, and rather than going to one of the city's Michelin-starred restaurants, she reportedly capped the trip off with a visit to a very normal-ass bar: Inter Steer Tavern on Roncesvalles.
UPDATE (12/10, 5:35 p.m. ET): If it seemed a little too good to be true, that's because it was. The Toronto Star has now retracted its report that Swift visited the Inter Steer Tavern, while Toronto Life has published an investigation into the rumour, pointing out that Swift's private plane took off around an hour after her concert ended. An employee who answered Toronto Life's call said that Swift was most likely never there.
The Toronto Star confirmed that Swift went to the Inter Steer on November 23, after the final night of her Eras Tour run at Rogers Centre. It's at 357 Roncesvalles Avenue, a block down from the Revue Cinema.
The Inter Steer is a perfectly nice, decidedly normal tavern. It has 4.5 stars on Google and 3.3 stars on Yelp, and its price rating on Yelp is $$, indicating that patrons can expect to pay $11–$30 per person. They sometimes host live acoustic sets.
Full disclosure: I'm a semi-regular at Inter Steer, and I sometimes watch sports games there, like the NHL finals earlier this year. My wife likes the burgers! I certainly didn't guess that I was dining in a Switie establishment.
So keep your eyes peeled, Vancouver — Swift evidently might pop up at a civilian bar this week!
