Ten’sCabaret
21 and over

Ten’s Cabaret admits guests aged 21 or older. Valid government-issued photo ID, every time, no exceptions. If you are under 21, please close this page.

Ten’s Cabaret, in plain text

Everything on this site, on one page, in order, with no 3D and nothing moving. Hours, the address, the whole kitchen menu with its prices, the nights, the forms. If you want the room instead, the full version is one link away.


Open or shut, right now

This page carries no clock, so instead of guessing, here is the rule it would be reading from. Doors open at 5:00 PM and last call is 4:00 AM, every night of the week, New York time. If it is between those two hours in New York, the room is open. The only window it is shut is 4 AM to 5 PM.

The full version of the site works this out against your device clock and says so on every page. If you want a person instead, the phone answers from five: +1 347-630-7077.

Where it is and how to get there

2945 Arthur Kill Road, Staten Island, NY 10309.

2945 Arthur Kill Road, Staten Island, NY 10309. It is on the south-west shore of the island, north-east of the Outerbridge Crossing.

Driving in

Come over the Outerbridge Crossing onto Staten Island, pick up Arthur Kill Road and follow it north-east. The club says it’s about five minutes. You want 2945.

The five minutes is the house’s own estimate, published on their site and repeated here in their voice. We have not timed it, and we are not going to tell you what traffic on Arthur Kill Road will do at midnight.

Parking

Private parking on site. You do not have to circle Arthur Kill Road looking for a space, and you are not paying a garage on the way home.

The lot is the one fact the house publishes about arriving. Anything else you have heard about it — cost, valet, capacity — we have not confirmed, so we are not printing it.

One round stage, and the whole room aimed at it.

A round elevated stage with a floor-to-ceiling pole and a steel hoop rigged above it. A long bar with a lit bottle wall. Low black leather along the walls, triangular fixtures down the back, and a red ceiling with the truss left showing. There is no second room to be seated in and forgotten.

House rules

  • 21 and over. Valid government-issued photo ID, every time, no exceptions.
  • Ladies and couples welcome, seven nights.
  • Private parking on site. The lot is ours.

Three rules, because three are what the house publishes. If you have been told about a dress code, a camera policy or anything else, we have not been able to confirm it and will not print it as though the door enforces it. Ask on +1 347-630-7077.

Large parties go faster by phone.

The house’s own instruction, and it is the right one: for a large party, call. A table for twelve is a conversation about where in the room you sit and what time you arrive, and a conversation is faster than a form.

Write to the house

This composes an email in your own mail app and sends it to the club directly. There is no form server, no queue and no third party in the middle — which is also why nothing here is stored, tracked or seen by anyone but the house.

No captcha, no analytics, no tracking pixel — there is no endpoint here to protect and nothing to measure.

The visit page on the full site carries the same address, the same phone number and the same hours, with a drawn map of the approach.

A schematic, not a survey — not to scale, and no cross street on it is named. It answers the one question worth answering before you set off: which side of the bridge. For turn-by-turn, use the directions links. Those two directions links are the only thing on this page that leaves the site, and they only leave when you click them. Nothing here loads a map, a font, a tracker or a script from anywhere else.

The main room at Ten’s seen from the floor: an aerialist inverted in a steel hoop rigged beside the chrome pole, a lit panel in the stage below her, white triangular fixtures along the back wall and a rope of pink lights running the length of the bar.
The room from the floor. One round stage in the middle, and everything in the building faces it.

The same seven nights a week, including Sunday. The kitchen runs late because the room does; the house publishes club hours rather than kitchen hours, so call +1 347-630-7077 if you are coming for food after midnight.

21+ with valid photo ID. Ladies and couples always welcome.

The kitchen menu on the full site carries the same dishes and the same prices, set in the room.

The bar

Not published by the house

Nothing in this section is published by the house. It is a sample list, written to show the shape of the bar rather than its contents, and it carries no prices at all. Call +1 347-630-7077 and ask what is actually pouring.

A sample list. Ask the bar what they’re actually pouring tonight.

A performer sits along the polished black bar top in white lace and clear heels, the lit bottle wall stacked behind her and a blue LED rope running the length of the bar at Ten’s, the room dark beyond.
The bar runs the length of the room, lit from behind by the bottle wall.

Bottle service

Not published by the house

Nothing in this section is published by the house either. The tiers below are named after where you sit, which is how the room actually sells them, and none of them carries a number. Bottle pricing at Ten’s moves with the night, the table and what is on the shelf. Rather than publish a figure that is wrong by Friday, the host quotes you when you book.

Where you can sit

4 tiers, from a floor table to a private suite. Every one of them is quoted by the host; none of them carries a number here.

Floor table — On request
A table on the main floor with sightline to the round stage.
  • Ice, mixers and glassware
  • Table service through the night
  • Sightline to the round stage
The rail — On request
Stage-side, at the edge of the circle. Closest seats in the house.
  • Ice, mixers and glassware
  • Seats at the edge of the stage circle
  • Table service through the night
VIP table — On request
Raised, sectioned off, with your own host for the night.
  • Ice, mixers and glassware
  • A raised, sectioned-off table
  • A host who stays with the table
Private suite — On request
A room of your own inside the room. For parties that want a door.
  • Ice, mixers and glassware
  • A private room with a door
  • A host who stays with the party
  • Arranged with the host before the night

What comes to the table

Styles only. No distillery, no label, no brand — naming one would assert that the house stocks it, and the house has published nothing.

An authored shelf shape, not an inventory. Every price is quoted by the host.

The named nights

Formats theirs, cadence ours

The formats and the DJs are the club’s own. The recurring dates below are our reconstruction from the nights they have published — call 347-630-7077 to confirm before you travel.

Seven nights a week, and 3 nights that have their own names. This page prints the rule rather than a list of dates, on purpose: it carries no clock, and a date baked into a page that is served for weeks is how a live room ends up looking closed. The calendar on the full site works the next eight nights out against your own device clock — that is the one thing in this tree that a page with no JavaScript genuinely cannot do, and it is stated rather than quietly dropped.

Fantasy Fridays

Every Friday · 8 PM – 4 AM · Weekly

The biggest room of the week. Renegade and Yamosa take the decks at 8 and hold them to close, the full cast is on, and the floor around the stage does not empty out until the lights come up. Ask for a table if you want one — Fridays are the night people find out we take requests.

On the decks: DJ Renegade and DJ Yamosa.

The guest list closes 2 hours before doors — that is our house rule for this build, not a policy the club publishes. After that, call +1 347-630-7077 and ask.

Queen of the Pole

The third Saturday of the month · 8 PM – 4 AM · Monthly

A pole competition on the round stage, judged in the room, with the house voting on the floor. Competitors come in from off the island for it. When it is scheduled it goes on the calendar and out to the list first — the room fills early and stays full.

On the decks: DJ Renegade.

The guest list closes 4 hours before doors — that is our house rule for this build, not a policy the club publishes. After that, call +1 347-630-7077 and ask.

Football Sundays

Every Sunday · 5 PM – 4 AM · In season

The game is on and the bar is priced down from 5 to 8, which is the three hours nobody expects a room like this to be worth going to. Kitchen runs the whole time. It is the most relaxed the floor gets all week and, quietly, the best night to bring someone who has never been.

Published promotion: Reduced drinks, 5 PM – 8 PM.

Runs September to February. The season window is our reconstruction, not the house’s published policy.

The guest list closes 2 hours before doors — that is our house rule for this build, not a policy the club publishes. After that, call +1 347-630-7077 and ask.

A busy Friday on the floor: a performer inverted high on the chrome pole with dollar bills in the air around her and covering the round stage below, the red-draped ceiling and exposed lighting truss overhead, guests along the bar and a bartender working the well.
A Friday at full tilt: the round stage, the pole, and the floor three deep around it.

What the room hosts

These are the nine services the club lists on its own contact page, in its own words.

  • Corporate events
  • Bachelor parties
  • Bachelorette parties
  • Birthday parties
  • VIP parties
  • VIP suites
  • VIP tables
  • Bottle service
  • Dining

That list is the venue’s own, from their contact page. What a given package costs, what a minimum spend is, and how far ahead a Saturday needs booking are not published anywhere — the host will tell you on the call.

A party of any size is arranged the same way: call +1 347-630-7077 or email the house and say the date, the head count and what the night is for.

Request a table

Coming tonight, after doors? Call +1 347-630-7077. A phone call is always faster than a form, and somebody is on the door from five.

Tell the host the night, the size of the party and where you want to sit. It takes about ninety seconds and it reaches a person, not a queue.

This page cannot send anything. There is no booking system behind it. It writes your request out in full and hands it to your own mail app — or to your phone. Nothing is held until the club calls you back.

There is no form on this page, and there is none anywhere in the reading edition. This tree runs no JavaScript at all, and a request form that cannot compose a message is a decoration. Everything the form on the full site asks is listed below; the same answers in an email to tenscabaret@hotmail.com, or on the phone to +1 347-630-7077, reach the same host by the same route.

Four questions and your number

Everything below goes into one plain-text message you can read before it leaves your hands.

What would you like?

Pick the closest. The host will tell you what is actually free on the night.

A table
On the main floor, with a sightline to the round stage.
Stage-side
The rail, at the edge of the circle. Closest seats in the house.
VIP table
Raised and sectioned off, with a host who stays with the table.
Bottle table
A table set for bottle service — ice, mixers, glassware, the walk.
VIP suite
A private room inside the room, arranged with the host beforehand.
Dining
A table for the kitchen. It runs as late as the room does.

Which night, and how many?

Doors 5 PM, last call 4 AM, seven nights. Requests run about four months out. Or pick one of the next three weeks. Including you. One to 40.

A rough time is fine. Times after midnight belong to the following morning and are labelled that way.

Nothing you type here is stored on a server, because there is no server. A working draft is kept in this browser tab for six hours and disappears when you close it. This page stores nothing at all.

Where do you want to sit?

Optional. Leave it and the host places you.

At the bar Seats 1–4
Along the bottle wall, with the stage over your shoulder.
VIP table Seats 4–12
Raised and sectioned off, looking down the room at the stage.
Floor table, house left Seats 2–6
Across the floor at the stage, side on to the pole.
Floor table, house right Seats 2–6
Across the floor at the stage, with the bar behind you.
The rail, stage left Seats 2–4
At the edge of the circle. Nothing between you and the stage.
The rail, stage right Seats 2–4
At the edge of the circle, under the hoop rigging.
Private suite Seats 6–20
A room of your own off the floor, with a door on it.

The shape of the room is reconstructed from the club’s own photographs — the round stage, the pole, the hoop rigging, the long bar and the banquettes are all in those frames. Where the tables sit and how many each seats is our drawing, not the club’s plan. The three-dimensional view is that same drawing, extruded and lit: a reconstruction, not a photograph, and not a table held for you. The host places you on the night.

Anything the host should know

These are the nights the club already runs.

  • Birthday
  • Bachelor party
  • Bachelorette party
  • Corporate event
  • VIP party
  • Celebration

Preferences only — never an order, and never a quote. Bottle pricing at Ten’s moves with the night, the table and what is on the shelf. Rather than publish a figure that is wrong by Friday, the host quotes you when you book.

Ten’s publishes food prices and does not publish a bottle list. The styles above were written for this build, so treat them as a shape rather than a shelf. The host confirms what is actually open when you sit down.

What actually happens

  1. You press send in your own mail app, or you text, or you call. That is the moment anything leaves your device.
  2. A person at the club reads it. tenscabaret@hotmail.com is a mailbox somebody opens, not an inbox rule.
  3. They call or text you back on the number you gave, and that call is what makes it a table.
  4. If you asked about bottles, the price comes back with that call. Ten’s does not publish one, and neither will we.

This is a request, not a table. Nothing is held until the host comes back to you, so wait for the call before you drive over. If you need an answer tonight, call +1 347-630-7077 — that line is real and it is answered from five.

The room takes over nicely

Corporate nights, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, VIP parties. VIP suites and VIP tables, bottle service to any of them, and the kitchen running the whole time. Tell the host the number in your party and the host builds the night around it.

Parties over 40 are past what this form can carry. Call +1 347-630-7077 and skip it — that is a conversation, not a text box.

Membership

Membership at Ten’s is by invitation from a current member, or by application. That is the club’s own arrangement and it is the whole of it — there is no third door, and there is no price on this page.

A card, and the nights that don’t get announced

Members get the private nights — the ones that never reach the public calendar. Smaller rooms, invited guests, and a bill put together for the people in it rather than for a Friday crowd. The rest of the year it means a host who knows your name before you have given it.

The calendar you can see is not the whole calendar.

What the club publishes

  • Members-only private events
  • Entry to the membership by invitation from a current member
  • The club’s own description: reserved for a select few

These three are the club’s own words, from its own membership and events pages.

What we’ve written Indicative

  • A table held on a full Friday
  • A direct line to the floor host
  • Competition dates before they go public
  • A standing bottle preference kept on file

The club has never published any of these. They are what a membership at a room this size would reasonably carry, written for this design study. Nothing here is a promise the club has made, and benefits are confirmed with you before any card is issued.

Three cards, no prices

Ten’s runs membership by invitation and by application. The tier structure below was written for this design study — the club sets the real terms when they call you, and it has never published a fee, a level or a benefit list of its own.

The House Card Indicative

The list at the door.

  • Your name on the list any night you say you are coming
  • Priority on a table before 10 PM
  • First look at competition and event dates

Fee: By arrangement

The entry card. Written for this study.

Ember Indicative

A table that’s already yours.

  • Everything in The House Card
  • A table held on Fridays and Saturdays
  • A standing bottle preference kept on file
  • A direct line to a host rather than the main number

Fee: By arrangement

The middle card. Written for this study.

Proscenium Indicative

The room, on your terms.

  • Everything in Ember
  • The private suite on request
  • Access to the members-only nights
  • The club’s number in your phone, and yours in theirs

Fee: By arrangement

The top card. Written for this study.

No number on this page is the club’s. If you want to know what membership actually costs, that is a question for +1 347-630-7077, and it is a fair one to ask before you apply.

Two ways in

01 · A current member puts your name forward
That is the fast one. If you were given a code, bring it to the form below.
02 · You apply here, and the floor manager reads it himself
Six questions. Applications are read by a person, not by a form robot.

Applying is not joining. The house reads every application and takes some of them. Membership is not for sale, and there is no price on this page for that reason.

Tell us who you are

If a current member sent you, put their name and code in — it is the fastest route in. If nobody sent you, that is fine too; say what brings you to the room. Either way it goes to the same inbox and the same person reads it.

Codes are checked by hand when we call you. We can’t confirm one here, and this page will not pretend to.

These nine are the services the club itself publishes. They are listed under what the room hosts, below.

There is no application form in the reading edition: this tree runs no JavaScript, and a form that cannot compose a message is a decoration. Everything the application asks — who you are, how often you are in, which card you are asking about, and what brings you in — goes in an email to tenscabaret@hotmail.com, or you can say it on the phone to +1 347-630-7077. The membership page on the full site carries the form itself.

Questions

Ten’s publishes no membership FAQ, and we are not going to write one and put their name on it. Nothing here is published yet. Call +1 347-630-7077 and ask directly — whoever picks up knows more about the arrangement than this page ever will.

Or just come in

Membership is not required to visit. The room is open seven nights from 5 PM, the door takes walk-ins, and a table can be held with a phone call.

Working here

Entertainers, bar, security, DJs, kitchen and live musicians.

The stage is the visible part. A working night here also needs a bar that can pour under pressure, a door that reads a room correctly, a kitchen still turning out entrées at 2 AM, and a booth that can hold a floor for eight hours. Every one of those is a job.

21 and over, every role, without exception — it is a licensing condition, not a preference. Doors are 5 PM and close is 4 AM, seven nights.

The whole building, not only the stage

Ten’s advertises for entertainers, and only for entertainers. Everything else below is a room like this one obviously running a bar, a door, a kitchen and a booth — so we have listed those too, marked as ours rather than theirs, so a bartender or a door supervisor knows they can write in.

Cards marked Inferred are roles we have listed, not vacancies the club has posted. Nothing here is a confirmed opening. Call +1 347-630-7077 and ask what is actually open this month.

Entertainer

The round stage, the pole, the running order. Nights are built around a bill that changes, so no two are the same shift.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • A professional presentation that suits the room
  • Versatility across music and themes

Ten’s recruits for this role directly, on its own site.

Aerialist Inferred

There is a steel hoop rigged above the round stage and it is in regular use. Rigging and apparatus work, on a bill with other acts.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Apparatus experience
  • Your own safety practice, and the sense to insist on it

The hoop and its rigging are visible in the club’s own photographs. The role is not advertised.

Live musician Inferred

The club books live players onto the stage alongside the bill — a saxophonist works this room. Horns, keys, percussion.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Able to read a room and play over a DJ set
  • Your own instrument and a clean sound

A working saxophonist appears on Ten’s own stage in their photographs. The role is not advertised.

DJ Inferred

Eight hours, one floor, and a bill to work around. Residency or one-off. The club’s named residents are Renegade and Yamosa.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Able to hold a floor from doors to close
  • Reliable with your own kit and a backup

DJs Renegade and Yamosa are named on Ten’s own events page. Openings are not advertised.

Bartender Inferred

A long bar with a lit bottle wall, bottle service running to tables, and a kitchen ticket rail that does not stop at midnight.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Volume experience
  • New York alcohol-service training is worth naming if you have it

The bar and its bottle wall are visible in the club’s own photographs. The role is not advertised.

Barback Inferred

Ice, glass, kegs, restock, and the reason the bar can pour at 1 AM without stopping. Often the way in to a bar shift.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Fast on your feet for a long night

Inferred from the size of the bar. The role is not advertised.

Cocktail server Inferred

The floor and the tables. Bottle service arrives through you, and so does most of what a table remembers.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Floor experience
  • A steady hand and a good memory

Bottle service and dining are on the club’s published service list. The role is not advertised.

Host / door host Inferred

The first thirty seconds of the night. Names, tables, coats, and the judgement to keep a queue calm.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Composure with people who have had a drink

Inferred from the room’s table service. The role is not advertised.

Security Inferred

A licensed 21-and-over room that runs to 4 AM. Reading a room correctly, early, is the whole job.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • A New York State security guard licence, or one in progress
  • De-escalation before anything else

Inferred from the venue’s licence and hours. The role is not advertised.

Kitchen Inferred

A full menu that is still going out at 2 AM — steak, pasta, wings, the fried pickles. Line, prep and expo.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Line experience

What the club says about starting out

Three sentences below are Ten’s own, from their own careers page. We have kept them because they are useful and because they are theirs. What we cannot do is confirm them for you — so they are set as quotations, and the note under each one is us, not them.

  1. No experience is necessary. We have training programs for new entertainers.

    The club’s claim. Quotation 1 of 3. Ten’s Cabaret, in their own words.

    That is the club’s own claim about the club, and it is the single most useful thing on their careers page. Ask them what the programme actually covers when they call you — a good answer to that question tells you a lot about a room.

  2. To become an entertainer here you must be 21 or older, and have a professional presentation that aligns with the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere of the cabaret.

    The club’s claim. Quotation 2 of 3. Ten’s Cabaret, in their own words.

    The 21 is licensing and it is not negotiable anywhere in New York. The rest is the club describing the standard it holds its floor to.

  3. Versatility and adaptability are key — various music styles, show themes, and last-minute changes.

    The club’s claim. Quotation 3 of 3. Ten’s Cabaret, in their own words.

    Take this one literally. The bill moves, the theme moves, and the running order can change while you are in the dressing room.

One thing we will say flatly, because it is ours to say: a training programme is a reasonable question to ask about before you commit an evening to an audition, and any room worth working will answer it plainly.

What we ask

  • 21 or older, with the ID to prove it.
  • A professional presentation that suits the room.
  • Versatility — the music, the theme and the running order all move.
  • Reliability on a late schedule. Doors are 5 PM and close is 4 AM.

What happens to this

Your application goes straight from your device to the club’s own inbox. It is not saved on this website, it is not stored in a database, and it is not sent to anyone else. Nothing you type here is kept if you close the tab — so finish it in one sitting, and keep your own copy if you would like one. There is a button for that at the end.

What we don’t ask for

No pictures of you, no measurements, no date of birth, no home address, no ID numbers. There is no way to attach a file to this page at all. If someone asks you for any of those before an in-person conversation, that is not us.

Said honestly: we cannot encrypt this for you. It travels as an ordinary email from your own mail app, with whatever protection your provider gives it. If you would rather not put something in writing, call +1 347-630-7077 and ask for management. How we handle what you send.

Send it and somebody reads it

There is no application form in the reading edition — this tree runs no JavaScript, and a form that cannot compose a message is a decoration. Write to tenscabaret@hotmail.com with the role you want and when you can come in, or call +1 347-630-7077 and ask for management, or use the form on the full site. All three reach the same people.

You must be 21 or over.

What the form asks you to confirm, in its own words: “I am 21 years of age or older. I understand Ten’s is a 21-and-over licensed venue and that I’ll need to prove my age before I can work there.” and “I’m happy for Ten’s to contact me about this application using the details above.”

Two separate boxes, neither ticked for you, because they are two separate things. There is no marketing list on this site to add you to.

Ten’s hires without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, national origin or disability, and the 21 floor is a licensing condition rather than an age preference. That sentence is ours, not theirs — the club publishes no equal-opportunity statement. It is the right commitment for a room like this one to make, and it is worth asking them to confirm it.

The photographs

11 photographs of the room and the work. Each one is described in full below it, so the page reads the same whether or not the images load.

The room

The main room at Ten’s seen from the floor: an aerialist inverted in a steel hoop rigged beside the chrome pole, a lit panel in the stage below her, white triangular fixtures along the back wall and a rope of pink lights running the length of the bar.
An aerialist folded into the steel hoop above an empty floor, violet haze and hard beams behind her, the white triangular wall fixtures lit down the back wall and a single yellow balloon resting on the polished stage.

The stage

A busy Friday on the floor: a performer inverted high on the chrome pole with dollar bills in the air around her and covering the round stage below, the red-draped ceiling and exposed lighting truss overhead, guests along the bar and a bartender working the well.
A saxophonist in a leopard-print sequinned suit, white brimmed hat and dark glasses plays beside the pole on Ten’s stage, the lit bottle wall behind him going green and violet under the spots.
A performer in a red-and-white two-piece and red mesh sleeves sits on the edge of one of Ten’s black leather banquettes under a hard blue key light, laced knee-high boots planted on the patterned carpet.

The company

Three performers in black ruffled couture and jewelled eye pieces photographed against a plain black ground — one seated on a low block, two standing either side of her, a studio portrait of the company.
A performer stands in profile in thigh-high boots against a dark ground, lit from behind by a violet rim light that separates her outline from the black of the room.
A performer in a red-and-white top and a blue pleated skirt stands with both arms raised against a dark violet ground, the Ten’s Cabaret wordmark set into the lower right of the frame.
A performer kneels on a black banquette in a green two-piece under a strip of blue LED light, the Ten’s Cabaret wordmark set into the lower right of the frame.

The bar

A performer sits along the polished black bar top in white lace and clear heels, the lit bottle wall stacked behind her and a blue LED rope running the length of the bar at Ten’s, the room dark beyond.
A host holds a tall dark bottle up beside her at the end of the bar, the room behind her going green and blue — the way bottle service arrives at a table at Ten’s.

The club’s own site notes that its images are for illustrative purposes and posed by models. We’ve kept their photographs and their note.

The same plates, larger and under the room’s own light, are on the stage page’s plate archive, where each one opens full size.

Yes. Ladies and couples are welcome, seven nights.

The house doesn’t publish one. Call +1 347-630-7077 before you come if you want to be sure.Not published · call to confirm

What can I pay with?
Not published. Call +1 347-630-7077 and ask before you plan around it.Not published · call to confirm
