You can create a venue on your phone via the foursquare app. When you are on the "Places" or "Check In" tab, try searching for the venue first. If you can't find the venue, then click the option to add a venue. (tip: if you want to check in somewhere private so that it shows on your history, but not add the place to our system for others to find, you can click the second option after searching for a venue: "check in here without adding the venue")

You can also create a venue on the website: foursquare.com/add_venue.

When creating a foursquare venue, please be sure to adhere to our style guide!
