Queer Mahjong Night at Lucky Danger

Created and hosted by yooji + Les the DJ, Queer Mahjong Night grew from our shared desire to create the kind of space we wanted to see more of: a gathering intentionally centered around 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫 + 𝐁𝐈𝐏𝐎𝐂 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, culture, music, play, and connection.

Whether mahjong is part of your cultural or family story, something you’re reconnecting with, or something you’ve always wanted to learn, this is a space to gather around the table, meet new people, and build queer joy together. On Tuesday, September 15, come for community, a welcome drink concocted by Lucky Danger’s queer Bar Director, Sunny, and Happy Hour food and drink specials throughout the evening.
