Kickback at The House – A 40+ Grown Folks Monthly Mixer
Looking for a vibe that feels like home, but with cocktails, conversation, and creative fun? Welcome to Kickback at The House—a monthly social gathering for the grown folks to connect, unwind, and just kick it.
Hosted inside The House of Photography Studio, this is your invite to come as you are, bring your favorite beverage, and vibe out with like-minded folks over 40 who enjoy good conversation, a chill atmosphere, and a few fun surprises along the way. 30-somethings, yes you can come too—just know this space is designed with the 40-plus crowd in mind, so come ready to vibe, connect, and kick it the grown folks way.
Each month we mix things up with:
• DIY Cocktail Bar (bring a bottle or mixer to contribute)
• Icebreakers and mini games sprinkled throughout the space
• Fun debates like “This or That” and “Battle of the Sexes”
• Creative grown folks games and interactive challenges
• Surprise pop-up experiences and prize giveaways
• Space to connect with old friends and make new ones
This is not your typical night out. This is for the people who still know how to have a good time without the club scene. Whether you're single, married, new in town, or just looking to step out and be social—this is YOUR kind of vibe.
Attire: Comfy and cute

Frequently asked questions
Nope! While this event is curated with the 40+ crowd in mind, 30-somethings are welcome too. Just know the vibe is grown, laid-back, and rooted in real conversation and connection.
Admission is FREE. All we ask is that you bring a bottle, mixer, or beverage of your choice to contribute to the DIY bar. That’s your entry. Just bring a good spirit and be in good spirits.
The dress code is comfy and cute. Come relaxed, be yourself, and wear something you feel good in. This is not a fashion show, it’s a chill vibe.
Absolutely. A lot of people come solo and leave with new friends. This is a space where everyone is welcome and it’s easy to connect. You won’t feel left out—we promise. When you shop up at our house you are family. So you are just kicking it with kinfolks!
Every Kickback is a little different, but you can expect fun icebreakers, grown folks games, signature drink tastings, and conversations that get you thinking and laughing. Some events may include pop-up challenges, giveaways, or even surprise photo opportunities.
Not at all. You can engage as much or as little as you want. If you just want to sip, vibe, and observe, that’s perfectly fine. This is a no-pressure zone. Jump in when you feel ready.
Yes, we usually have food available for purchase from local chefs or vendors. Trust, it’s always something delicious. Come hungry or eat before—it’s totally up to you. If you have a special diet, definitely bring your own food or eat in advance or at any Stony Point Resteraunt.
Yes, but you only need to bring one to enter. If you want to be extra and bring more, we love that for you, but it’s not required.
The event takes place at The House of Photography inside Stony Point Fashion Park in Richmond, VA. People often pass by it because they think it's furniture store. The specific directions and suite number is included in the event details.
Yes, please do! Just make sure they RSVP and know the vibe. This is for folks who are looking to connect, relax, and have a good time—grown-folks style. Men, women, any relationship status and ethnicity. All are welcome!
Nope—if you bring it to The House, it stays at The House. The idea is to help stock our monthly DIY bar so we always have a little starter for the next event. Trust, it all comes back full circle plus that's lowkey tacky.
Please drink responsibly. This is a grown folks space, so act accordingly. We’re not responsible or liable for anyone’s behavior or decisions during or after the event. Know your limits, take care of yourself, and get home safe.
We get it, things happen. But please let us know immediately if you spill anything or notice a stain or mess. We want to treat those areas quickly to protect our space since it is still an active photography studio and business. Think of this House as your home too. If you spill it, clean it.
Yes. This is a respectful, non-judgmental space where everyone should feel safe and welcomed. We don’t tolerate negativity, rude behavior, or anything that disrupts the energy we’re trying to build. Be kind, be cool, and come with good intentions.
Yes, we do record content and take photos to highlight the experience on social media. Only positive sound bites or no sound at all will be used in reels or stories. If you’re camera shy, just let us know—we got you.
