Creating a home for mahjong in the heart of Manhattan
For over 14 years, we've been teaching classes, organizing competitions, and growing the community of mahjong in the US. Through Sparrow's Nest Studio, we hope to unite experts of mahjong gameplay and strategy with a new base of players and enthusiasts.
For in-person gameplay and instruction, we're located right in the heart of Manhattan, New York. We've also put together an online store with thoughtfully chosen mahjong gifts and our own original designs for mahjong accessories.
Our Studio
We’re open four days a week, Thursday through Sunday, for open play at our studio. Our automatic tables can accommodate multiple styles of mahjong, including Japanese, Chinese, and American. If you and your friends know how to play, all you have to do is walk in - no sets or tables required!
Table Reservations and Lesson Reservations
Worried about fighting for table space during open play hours? Schedule in advance a table for you and 3 friends to play. Just tell us which rule set you play with and we'll have your table ready when you walk in.
We also offer reservations for private mahjong lessons. Grab a few friends and get starting shuffling, drawing, and discarding with an engaging interactive lesson from one of our expert instructors.
