ROK BOUTIQUE 200 Bathurst, 647-428-7273 www.rokboutique.com Rating: NNNNN
VIBE A new rock-and-roll-themed lounge that features DJs spinning guitar-heavy tunes most nights, Rok Boutique is small, cozy and all about sleazy hard rock. Expect to see the same types who frequent the Bovine Sex Club and other such bars along the Queen West strip.
VALUE Generally there’s no cover, and a domestic beer will run you $4.50.
PATIO ACTION There’s a rear patio without much of a view of the street, but it tends to be busy on weekends nevertheless.
CAN YOU DANCE? There’s little space for ass-shaking, and that doesn’t seem to be a priority. Still, given the right crowd and mood, there’s potential for dancing.
