About the Hosts
Long time best friends turned co-founders, Alix and Katie are the duo behind The Mahj Bar. After learning American Mahjong, they instantly fell in love with every part of the game—the competition, the beauty of the tiles, the rich history, and most of all, the time spent around the table with friends.
