Bloom is Southfield’s newest upscale lounge concept by South Ten Hospitality, blending refined design, bold cocktails, and sexy late-night energy. Our venue offers a high-vibe lounge experience and will soon debut an exclusive speakeasy—two distinct environments under one roof.
Our goal is clear: develop an award-winning beverage program that delivers high-volume efficiency in the lounge and curated, craft-forward cocktails in the speakeasy.

• Strong leadership, training, and mentoring skills.
• Ability to design and execute drinks for both high-speed and curated service models.
• Solid understanding of inventory management, recipe costing, and operational controls.
• Passion for developing an award-winning bar program.

You’ll oversee the entire bar program at Bloom, designing and refining two distinct beverage experiences:

• Lounge: Fast, efficient, consistent service during high-volume nights.
• Speakeasy: Elevated, scent-forward, personalized cocktail experiences
