Mahj & Mingle Open Plays

Let’s play and connect!

Join me for Mahjong open play socials throughout the St. Petersburg & Tampa Bay area (and sometimes beyond!) for laughter and connection.

Want to hold a Mahjong social at your boutique, store, or business? Reach out and let’s schedule a fun event!

On Thursdays, we Mahj! Sip, connect, and play American Mahjong in one of St. Pete’s most stylish spots.

Come solo or bring your Mahj besties - no group required! This event is all about community, connection, and creating a welcoming space to play, grow your skills, and have fun! If you’ve had at least one lesson and you can play without (significant) help, there’s a seat for you.

When & Where:

  • Thursdays from 2:30PM - 4:30PM at Pour & Décor in St. Petersburg. Registration to attend is required.

What’s Included:

  • Tiles, mats, and racks provided (but if you prefer your setup, please bring it!)

  • Bring your own NMJL card (current year) or borrow one of mine

  • Light guidance and gentle reminders on etiquette, rules, and play order

  • Optional: Gather your own group of 4 and reserve a full table - just enter all names in the comments when registering

Pour & Décor will have drinks and light bites for purchase - because Mahjong is always better with something to sip!

Please note:

  • This is not a first-timer’s class. You’ll need to know the basics to participate in the open play social, but I’ll be floating to help where needed.

  • We have tables for newer as well as experienced players; all are welcome. I can't guarantee your seating as I don't know who's attending; if you'd like to sit with your level group, encourage your friends to join in!

  • Registrations are date-specific and non-refundable. 

Let’s Mahj & Mingle - because there’s nothing better than good tiles and even better company!

    A great way to meet fellow Mahjong players. Adorable venue and the lemon spritz cocktail are refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend this event. Gaia is the best teacher and host😊!

    Mahj & Mingle is the highlight of my week! The vibe is relaxed, the people are welcoming, and I always leave with more confidence. Plus, it's a lot of fun!
