Mahjong Mondays at The Kimpton Marlowe

Join us for Mahjong Mondays at The Kimpton Marlowe!

Learn to play American Mahjong at The Kimpton Marlowe in Cambridge! Introducing a three week beginner series at The Bambara Kitchen and Bar. Mahjong instructors Emily and Bev of The Canasta and Mahjong Connection will help you learn and improve your game and connect with other players each week!

Sip on a mahjong-themed cocktail or order from the mahjong inspired food menu, as part of The Kimpton Hotel Mahjong and Mingle series (food and drink purchased separately).

The three week beginner series is perfect for brand-new players or anyone looking for a back to basics refresher. No prior experience is required—just bring your curiosity and get ready for a fun, social game! Or, join us for select classes as your schedule allows.
