The Mahj Bar is Allendale's home for mahjong — friendly games, beginner-friendly lessons, and lively social nights. Come on your own or bring your crew. We'll teach you the tiles and save you a seat.
However you like to play, there's a table waiting. New to the tiles? Even better.
Drop in for friendly mahjong at any skill level. Whether you've played for years or you're meeting the tiles for the first time, there's a table — and a seat — for you. Come on your own or bring your group; we'll get you into a game and make sure everyone's having fun.
Never played? Perfect. Our beginner lessons break the game down step by step in a warm, welcoming setting — no pressure, no prior experience, just friendly instructors who love teaching. You'll learn the tiles, the rules, and the rhythm of the game, then put it all to work at a real table.
Our social events turn a great game into a great night out. Join a themed gathering, meet new people, share tasty snacks, and trade tiles in a lively, upbeat room. It's the easiest way to make friends in town — many regulars first walked in for an event and never stopped coming back.
Know someone who'd love a night of tiles, laughter, and good company? A Mahj Bar gift card is the easy answer — good toward open play, lessons, and events. It's the kind of present that turns into a standing date and a brand-new circle of friends.

"Many members come alone — and never stay strangers."
Mahjong is a tile game built on a little strategy and a lot of teamwork — but what keeps people coming back to The Mahj Bar isn't the tiles. It's the table. The laughter. The familiar faces who pull out a chair the moment you walk in.
We built this place to be the easiest invitation in town: no experience needed, no clique to break into, no pressure to be good. Just a warm room, friendly instructors, tasty snacks, and a seat that's always yours.
We're a young, growing club — so instead of a wall of reviews, here's our honest promise to you.
"Pull up a chair, and we'll teach you everything. By the end of the night, you'll have a new game — and a few new friends."
