So my friend flaked out on me and I decided that I wanted to try something new and explore the city alone. This is a pretty big deal cause I’ve never done anything like this, but I don’t want to spend time alone at home AGAIN. I’m planning to visit some bars but not get drunk. I think I’ll get some mixers, sodas, or water. I’m also going to take an Uber, because I’m anticipating traffic and drunk drivers. Any things I should know about going to the bars? Is there like a secret code or etiquette?
(For example, I found out from another friend that 10 PM is “way too early” to go.)
I want to try talking to others too, but I’m also nervous because I don’t want to be too needy or too boring. Plus, I also don’t want to make a fool of myself in public. Secretly, I want to make some friends that I can talk with long term, but I know that probably won’t happen. However, I do want to make a good impression. What’s the best way to start conversations and keep being interesting? I’m pretty young and naive on some stuff like news, politics, drinking, city life, etc. so I’m currently looking at Google for extra tips.
Anything will be appreciated.

It’s gonna be hard since you don’t really name a city but my advice is to just google what events are in the city that’ll be super crowded and then go there.
I did that and I ended up at a fireworks show and I chatted up a girl in line while waiting for a drink. Now I’m just waiting for the fireworks but it’s better than being home
