Third Coast Mahjong is an American-style Mahjong parlor in Linden Square, Wilmette, Illinois, described as the first American Mahjong parlor on Chicago’s North Shore. Founded by two friends passionate about the game, it offers a welcoming place for newcomers and experienced players to learn, play, and build community.

For beginners, the parlor provides a recommended sequence of lessons: Mahj 101, Mahj 102, Mahj 103, and Guided Open Play. Players can also reserve spots at frequent Open Play and Guided Open Play sessions, whether attending alone or with a group. Those seeking regular play can join one of two league levels, with opportunities to develop their skills, explore advanced strategies, and enjoy a social experience in a supportive setting.

Third Coast Mahjong also shares information about its classes, events, and schedule through its website and mailing list. Located at 405 ½ Linden Avenue, the parlor operates on selected weekdays and Saturdays, with hours varying by day and class schedule.
