✨ WHY WAS 13 ORPHANS CREATED? ✨
13 Orphans is more than a lounge—it’s a celebration of heritage, a meeting place for the curious and nostalgic alike, and a bold step forward in preserving and reimagining timeless traditions.
Baba’s House opened its doors in 2021 as a cozy snack shop, a 3rd space and community hangout where good vibes, good music, great snacks, and cultural events came together through careful curation. From Cantonese club meetups and rowdy live jam sessions to intense mahjong showdowns, it quickly became a neighborhood favorite.
Recognizing the growing popularity of mahjong and the cultural value it carries, introducing 13 Orphans—a modern mahjong den and cocktail lounge. This new concept by the Baba’s House Group is a tribute to tradition and innovation, combining the strategic thrill of mahjong with artisanal cocktails inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and tea culture.
