Some of the other provinces are 18 (but since you will be in Ontario, that is irrelevant). However, if you are actually going to pubs (as "bars" are not usually open mid-afternoon), then there shouldn't be a problem - pubs are usually restauarants, so they don't usually id you unless you order a drink.
