Tournament Venue
Location: Board, 29 Clanbrassil Street Upper, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 8, D08 E1X9.
This is the cherished home of our regular Mahjong in Dublin Meetup group. While Board is a public café and not exclusively booked for the tournament (meaning we’ll be playing at designated tables within the lively café atmosphere), this choice of venue offers a uniquely laid-back, friendly, and familiar environment for all our players.
As one of our members aptly put it: It’s an unfair condition for everyone, which makes it fair for everyone.
We embrace the charm and casual nature of our beloved meetup spot!
