Ace Of Clubs Bridge & Games Studio Of Tempe

This bridge club is not in operation anymore.

I’m not so secretly a geek, but also an anachronism in my geekiness. Eschewing iPhones and the latest geek gadgetry, I prefer the comforts of bridge and tea. Or rather, I’d like to.
A goal for 2009 is to get better at bridge, much better. (Thankfully, from where I am, better is the only direction to go). So began my hunt for a bridge studio. One of the directors at Ace of Clubs, Jason, actually organized meet-​ups via
and I was lured in with the promises of a fun night. And that first night, I swallowed my fears of meeting strangers, complete humiliation of myself with my immaturity at bridge, and I went and played at their Tuesday night games, the one night a week that’s dedicated to «more casual» bridge. And you know what, it was just as fun as I remembered from a few years back.
So Ace of Clubs is a «bridge studio», which means they have scoreboards of past weeks’ winners and such on the walls, 4-​sided card tables with semi-​padded chairs, a decidedly hush feel because of the seriousness of the game. But all that doesn’t matter, because you’re there to learn and play bridge.
If you don’t know how to play, they have lessons. If you don’t have a partner, they’ll find you one. If you’re scared or worried that you won’t fit in, don’t be… that’s just silly.
P. S. That first night I went… my partner and I won :)
