The Lone Star State shines as a thriving hub in the world of American mahjong.<\/p>\n

With countless Texas-based tile companies<\/a> and an abundance of non-profit events centered around the game (like Dallas Children\u2019s Advocacy Center\u2019s Mahjong For a Mission<\/a>, one of our favorites), it\u2019s hard to find Dallasites who aren\u2019t addicted to the ancient game that\u2019s a mix of luck and strategy. We recently shared our favorite spots to play mahjong in Cowtown<\/a>, so it\u2019s only right that we round up our favorite places in the Big D to swirl those beautiful hand-painted tiles.<\/p>\n

The Charleston Club<\/p>\n

4706 West Lovers Lane<\/p>\n

Last fall, local philanthropic and community leader Lisa Rocchio opened the doors of The Charleston Club, a modern mahjong parlor<\/a> in a charming bungalow on West Lovers Lane. Designed as a chic space for players to gather together for community, connection, and curated retail (it is Dallas after all!), The Charleston Club is open daily. Players\u00a0can reserve a table<\/a> (in the room of their choice!) online or host a private party in the space. In addition, check The Charleston Club\u2019s online calendar<\/a> for in-house events, lessons, and open play. This month, the parlor is even hosting an August Mahjong League.<\/p>\n
