R&B REWIND — THE GROWN FOLKS 55+ EDITION
October 17, 2026 5:00 pm
R&B, craft beer, and a grown folks dance floor in Berkeley
Gilman Brewing Company has a good setup for this kind of night. It is casual, roomy, and easy to settle into, with fresh beer on tap, wine available, and food coming out of the kitchen when you need a break from dancing.
On Saturday, October 17, the Berkeley brewery hosts an evening built for the 55 plus crowd, running from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. Doors open at 4:45 PM, so you can get in early, grab a drink, and find your spot.
DJ BlackFriday will be handling the music, with R&B favorites from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Expect Maze, Mary J. Blige, slow jams, dance floor songs, and plenty of records that bring back real memories.
This one makes sense for folks who want a grown evening out without the late night scramble. Good music, good company, dinner options on site, and a crowd that knows the songs without needing a playlist explained.
The dress code is grown and classy casual. No athletic wear and no ball caps, so keep it comfortable but sharp.
Tickets are $45, with food and drinks sold separately. The event is listed as non refundable, but tickets may be transferred to another guest.
