Oh Hey!

I like to think I've created a place where wit, heart, and a grit come together in a delightfully unique retail experience. Located in historic downtown Culpeper, we are your go-to destination for edgy, funny, (sometimes swear-y) and thoughtful treats that will leave you satisfied and smiling.

Not only is Monkey House a unique haven for misfits & wanderers among a sea of boutiques and restaurants, it's also our very own brand. We design and print our own apparel, greeting cards, and posters right here... so yeah... we're kind of amazing...

FAQ: "Where did you come up with the name?"

FAA: "Many customers inquire about the origins of our shop's name. Alas, the tale lacks the sultry intrigue one might anticipate. Our affection for Kurt Vonnegut led us down this path. In a haze of collegiate ambition, I once dreamed of running a store and uttering those fateful words: "Welcome to the Monkey House" - paying homage to one of Mr. Vonnegut's collection of short stories.

Mission accomplished. But in reality, we typically go with "how's it going" or a simple, yet effective: "hey, there."

Fun Facts: We have an unhealthy obsession with coffee, Steve Buscemi, and 90% of the discography of Talking Heads. All suitable topics for conversation, and can be (and have been) exhaustively discussed around these parts. So pay us a visit. The vibe, music, and merch is always on point.

We can't wait to see you.
