Membership

Two ways in, and one of them is a phone call from a member

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 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 club’s own photograph of its own room. Its site notes that images are for illustrative purposes and posed by models; we have kept both the picture and the note.

What it is

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.

The cards

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.

  • Indicative

    The House Card

    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

    FeeBy arrangement

    The entry card. Written for this study.

  • Indicative

    Ember

    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

    FeeBy arrangement

    The middle card. Written for this study.

  • Indicative

    Proscenium

    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

    FeeBy 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.

How it works

Two ways in

  1. A current member puts your name forward

    That is the fast one. If you were given a code, bring it to the form below.

  2. 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.

Apply

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.

How would you like to join?

You can change your mind at any point. Nothing you have already typed is lost.

Questions

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.

No card required

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.
