The game-night trend has produced a predictable set of venues: board game cafes, trivia bars, escape rooms. Shooters Waterfront in Fort Lauderdale is doing something different. Martini & Mahjong Mondays runs biweekly on the Intracoastal — Open Play or a Guided Lesson, approximately two hours of gameplay, happy hour pricing on bites until 9pm, and special martinis available exclusively for mahjong players.
Mahjong is having a moment in the United States — the tile-based game that has been a fixture of Chinese culture for centuries has found a new audience among younger players who are drawn to its combination of strategy, social ritual, and the satisfying weight of the tiles. The Guided Lesson option at Shooters is the right entry point for anyone who has been curious but has not yet learned the game.

The November dates are November 2 and November 16. Open Play and Guided Play are both available at each session. The series begins at 7pm.
