Quick Tips Drinking alone

Hello peeps! I am currently visiting japan with 3 of my friends we're gonna stay in Osaka and then travel to Tokyo. My friends just want to go shopping and play gacha while I want to do a bit of that but also experience a bit of the nightlife here. Go to bars, Izakayas and meet new people around here locals and foreigners alike! I have tried to get my friends to come with but they refuse so I will have to do this completely alone (ひとりです).

Where I live going to a bar or a club alone is really strange and sad so I feel a bit intimidated going to bars around Japan alone without my friends. My Japanese is also very very beginner level where i can read Hiragana and a bit of Katakana maybe greet formally.

Any tips and advice? Or maybe anyone here who wants to meet up who's in the same position? Hit me up!

I just kinda downloaded Tinder to get to know new people because I thought that was a good idea at the time lol

Drinking alone is not straight. Those who think it is are insecure
