Our open studio nights are all about playing, socializing, and connecting with others who share your love for Mah Jongg 🀄️ ❤️

Whether you’re coming with your own squad (reserve a table!) or flying solo (make new Mahj friends!) we’ll make sure everyone has a seat at the table. Spend the evening playing with fellow Mah Jongg enthusiasts 💌

These sessions are for intermediate to advanced players who already know the game, no instruction is offered.

We’ll have the tables beautifully set up and ready to play, so all you have to do is bring your NMJL card and have fun 🥂

🎟️ $30 per person
⏰ 6 PM to 8 PM
