Dating as a teetotal

I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm at the stage of my life where I want a girlfriend. I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs as my own personal choice. I have been suggested to check out bars to meet people but I'm not sure if I should since I don't drink. It's not a deal breaker for me if the other person drinks in moderation but I myself refuse to drink alcohol. Should I still meet people in bars or is there another social setting that would be better for me?

To be honest, in the last year and a half of sobriety I always found people that understood my choice. I'd Say continue to meet people in bars & pube, nowadays even where I come from (North East of Italy) there are in every bar plenty of alcohol free options.

Let me know how it is going and sorry for my english
