Welcome to Bams & Banter.
Where the conversation flows, the snacks are plentiful, and there’s always something good in your glass. Bams & Banter encourages a no-pressure, all-fun mahjong environment, where the focus is as much on enjoying the people at the table as it is on playing the tiles in your hand.
Our lessons follow a garden-inspired path, because learning mahjong is a lot like growing something great - it’s best with friends, a little patience, and plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re planning your first seeds, branching into new strategies, or blooming in full color with friends, you'll find the perfect seat at our table!

Mahjong here is about good company, flowing conversation, plentiful snacks, and a glass filled with something you enjoy. We meet you where you are, and we learn and laugh together along the way.
Mackenzie “Kenz” Miller - OMM Certified Instructor:
I fell in love with mahjong the moment I learned to play, not just for the strategy, but for how it sparks conversation and connection.
I come from a long line of women who know how to host - from setting a beautiful table to filling glasses and making everyone feel at home.
Bams & Banter is my way of blending everything I love: teaching a game that challenges your mind, creating a space where people feel welcome, and sprinkling in plenty of good food, drinks, and company.
