What does "Play. Connect. Belong." mean?

It's more than our tagline—it's our philosophy.

At Birdies, Mahjong is simply the reason we gather. We believe the best moments happen around the table: friendships are formed, stories are shared, confidence grows, and community comes naturally.

Whether you're joining your very first lesson or your hundredth game, we hope Birdies feels like your clubhouse away from home.

This final question helps differentiate Birdies from a traditional mahjong parlor by emphasizing the welcoming, lifestyle-oriented community you're building rather than focusing solely on the game.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to play Mahjong?

Not at all! Birdies was created for players of every level. Whether you've never touched a tile or you've been playing for years, there's a seat at the table for you.

Our beginner lessons teach everything you need to confidently play American Mahjong, while our experienced play sessions are designed for those who already know the basics.

Which version of Mahjong do you play?

Birdies primarily plays American Mahjong using the current National Mah Jongg League card.

We also offer specialty events and are always looking for opportunities to introduce members to other styles of Mahjong.

I've never played before. Where should I start?

We recommend beginning with one of our Birdies Beginner Series.

Our instructors walk you through:
  • Tile recognition
  • Charleston
  • Reading the NMJL card
  • Game strategy
  • Table etiquette
  • Confidence-building practice

You'll leave ready to join beginner-friendly open play.


Can i play with traditional white tiles or bring my own tiles?

Yes! We understand that not everyone likes to play with designer tiles, and we can absolutely accommodate you. Send us an email at [email protected] before your reservation and we will have your table set with that option.

Can I come by myself?

Absolutely—and many of our guests do.

You're in good company. Birdies was built around community. If you reserve a single seat, we'll pair you with other friendly members looking for a table.

Some of the best friendships at Birdies will begin over a shared Mahjong rack.

Birdies will do our best to create a full table of four for every open-play reservation. If a table has not reached enough players to play, we may combine reservations with another table or comparable play time.

If we’re unable to form a playable table, we’ll contact you approximately 24 hours in advance and offer the option to move your reservation to another available session, receive a full Birdies credit, or receive a refund.

If we have three players, we’ll make every effort to provide a Birdies house player so the game can go on.

Book a seat. We’ll help find your table.



Can I book an entire table?

Yes!

Reserve all four seats if you'd like a private game with your own group.

What if I don't have four players?

No problem.

Book one, two, or three seats and we'll fill the remaining spots whenever possible.

What should I bring?

Just yourself!

Birdies provides:
  • Premium Mahjong sets
  • NMJL cards (when applicable)
  • Racks and pushers
  • Dice
  • Scorecards
  • Everything needed to play

If you have a favorite Mahjong card or lucky rack, you're always welcome to bring it.

Do I need a membership?

No.

Everyone is welcome to book lessons, events, and open play.

Membership simply unlocks additional benefits, exclusive events, early booking windows, and special member pricing.

What's included with a Birdies membership?

Membership benefits may include:
  • Unlimited open play
  • Early access to reservations
  • Member pricing on lessons and events
  • Exclusive member-only socials
  • League participation
  • Special shopping events
  • Guest privileges
  • Seasonal surprises

(Our memberships continue to evolve as our community grows. Learn more here.)

What happens if I need to cancel?

Our sessions are intentionally small, and every seat matters.
  • Changes made 48+ hours before your reservation may be eligible for store credit.
  • Reservations changed within 24 hours, same-day cancellations, and no-shows are not eligible for refunds or credit.
  • All reservations are final sale.

These policies allow us to provide the best experience for everyone waiting to play.

What if I'm running late?

Please let us know as soon as possible.

Lessons and games begin promptly out of respect for all guests. Depending on when you arrive, you may be asked to join a later session if available.

Does Birdies have parking?

Birdies does not have dedicated parking, however there is AirGarage at 1530 S. Pearl St., or there is usually parking on the neighborhood residential streets.

Do you host private events?

Yes!

Birdies is the perfect setting for:
  • Birthday celebrations
  • Bridal events
  • Corporate team building
  • Client appreciation events
  • Holiday parties
  • Girls' nights
  • Charity fundraisers

We'll help create an event that's both memorable and effortless. Contact us for more information.

Do you sell Mahjong products?

Yes!

Our boutique features a curated collection of Mahjong tiles, racks, bags, accessories, gifts, apparel, and thoughtfully selected lifestyle pieces.

Do you offer any discounts?

Absolutely.

We offer a 15% discount for Military Personnel, First Responders, Teachers and Healthcare Workers. We don't want finances to be a barrier for community. If the price point is inaccessible, please reach out to i[email protected] and we would love to accommodate you.

Will you have leagues?

Yes!

Leagues are coming soon.

We're creating leagues that are social, welcoming, and just competitive enough to keep things fun.

Join our email list to be the first to know when registration opens.

What is Mini-Mahj?

Mini-Mahj is Birdies' upcoming Mahjong experience designed especially for younger players.

More details are coming soon—we can't wait to introduce the next generation to the game.

Can I bring food or drinks?

Select events include food and beverages, and Birdies will offer curated refreshments depending on the experience.

Outside food and beverages may be limited except for private events.

Can I take lessons more than once?

Absolutely!

Many guests enjoy repeating beginner lessons to build confidence before moving into open play.

Every lesson offers new strategies, different instructors, and plenty of practice.

Is Birdies competitive?

Birdies is community first.

Whether you're here to sharpen your game, learn something new, or simply enjoy an afternoon with friends, there's always a place for you at the table.

Every lesson offers new strategies, different instructors, and plenty of practice.

What's the difference between reserving all seven tables vs. booking a private event?

Reserving all seven tables gets you the tables for two hours, but Birdies stays open to other guests, and tables turn over after. It's great for a group that just wants to play!

A private event gives you the whole space exclusively for three hours, with two dedicated hostesses, a group photo, merchandise and boutique discounts, special touches, and room for up to 36 guests (vs. 28). It's ideal for birthdays, showers, or any celebration where you want Birdies entirely to yourselves!

What is the dress code?

Birdies Best

We love when our guests come dressed for the occasion—polished, playful, and put-together in whatever way feels most like you. Birdies welcomes all forms of personal expression.
