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.

Working here, in plain text

Ten’s hires performers, aerialists, musicians, bar and floor staff. The stage is the visible part of a working night; it is not most of one.


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
  • Able to hold standards at the end of a long service

The club publishes a full food menu. The role is not advertised.

House manager Inferred

The dressing room, the running order, and the person everyone on the bill goes to first. A senior role.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Experience running a room and a roster

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

Media & social Inferred

Three accounts, a room that looks extraordinary on camera, and a schedule that runs at night. Shooting, cutting, posting.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older
  • Your own kit
  • Work you can point us at

The club runs three social accounts. The role is not advertised.

Something else Inferred

If you can see a job here that we have not listed, write in and name it. Somebody reads all of these.

What the job asks

  • 21 or older

An open door, not a vacancy.

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.
