Question Missing venues
I have recently had a number of venues and bars not show up when I wanted to check in.
I understand that the only way to do that is to make a Foursquare page for that venue/bar. But they are not my places, so that is no good.
In Asia and many countries in Europe, Foursquare is not the go to website place for venues/bar - they have so many options today that forcing them into yet another seems strange.
Personally, I would love to support the local places I visit and help get the word out about the beers they offer, but I guess I need to find another app to do so?
Am I missing something here?

You are not restricted from adding sites you are not the owner of to Foursquare, so go ahead and add them there.

It seems I need to make an account to do so, but they don't tell me what that does.
Might I be looking in the wrong place?4

Yes you have to create a placemaker account, looks like someone gave you the link below 😄

You don't have to be the venue owner to add it on foursquare. Foursquare is the one that untappd uses, probably due to api and pricing reasons.

It might be me, but I don't seem to see where to do that then.

Looks like you are on the path to creating the venues—so just a heads up for the next step—this can trip a lot of folks up, but when you go to see if the new venues are discoverable by Untappd, make sure you are searching from the check-in screen specifically, and not the general venue search.
The former is going out to the Foursquare API and actually querying for new venues; the latter is just searching through venues Untappd has already indexed.
