There are many great bars, lounges and night clubs in and around the SoHo area of Manhattan. Mostly they will not require reservations, but it is strongly suggested. Better to have a reservation and not need one, than need one and not have it. Also when you call, make sure they take your credit card. Not all of them take all cards.
