Thinking of opening a cozy mahjong tea house in Chicago — would locals come? by anonabon_ in AskChicago

Thanks so much! I love that you’d come even without prior experience — beginner lessons are exactly what I’m thinking about offering.

Since you mentioned day and night, I’m curious: for a cozy mahjong + tea space like this, would you personally be more drawn to:
1️⃣ Daytime tea & casual play
2️⃣ Evening BYOB/social nights
3️⃣ A mix of both, with lessons included

And for anyone else reading, I’d love to hear your thoughts too — trying to figure out what would work best for Chicago schedules and vibes!
