What will make Rok Boutique a surefire success is the niche-though-inclusive marketing that makes sure not to exclude those with less-than-metallic taste. With an introduction rather than a come-on, the biker at the bar (every rock bar needs one) starts a conversation with the woman next to him. The vibe is cool and edgy, but Goths and long-hairs become loquacious after a few drinks; no one strives for aloof coolness. Rok is the ideal place for a post-soundcheck/pre-show drink and bite. Even better, head back after the show, settle in, and debate the lightweight, un-glam state of contemporary music. -D.R.

2 Reader Reviews | found this place by accident when the corner of bathurst and queen was closed down for streetcar repairs. I had to walk around the barriers to get back on queen st. Well, rock and roll fate brought me by the doors of the rok boutique and the sweet sounds of heavy metal lured me in. The rest is history. Johnny and Dawn and the rest of the staff made me feel at home as soon as I entered. I feel like I died and went to rock and roll heaven ( or hell, I'm not too sure). But if this is true then stay the fuck away from me and don't try to wake me up. Love you guys from the 1st day.

I can't say enough good things about Rok Boutique. The owner Johnny and his staff are the ultimate hosts. If you like to party and you like hair band music then this is the place. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was really cool including the patio. We will definately make a return visit.
