AMERICAN MAHJONG OPEN PLAY IN ST. PETERSBURG

Pull up a chair. Come play.

These are my American Mahjong open plays around St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay. Some I host myself. Some I organize with a partner venues.

They're relaxed, welcoming, and made for players who can hold their own at the table. Beginners are welcome too. You just need to know how to play, you don't have to be good at it yet.

Please reserve so I can save you a seat, free or paid. If you need to cancel, you can do it from the reserve button. If you have a mahjong set, bring it along. And our venues host us so kindly, so please support them by purchasing a drink or a bite while you play.
