mahjong parlor
Chinese game hall
A mahjong parlor is an establishment where people gather to play mahjong, the tile-based game of Chinese origin.
These venues range from casual social clubs to gambling houses, depending on local laws and customs.
In some Asian communities, mahjong parlors serve as neighborhood gathering spots: My grandmother spent every Sunday afternoon at the mahjong parlor.
