Is this legal in Ontario? Or is it illegal age discrimination?

I was at a bar-type place at the Lester B. Pearson airport in Toronto – and when I took a seat at a bar stool with a coffee – the waiter person said something with nooby grammar like "no coffee up here – only alcoholic beverages", I then asked "must I purchase an alcoholic beverage to sit here?" the person answered "yes"
I’m 15 and I can’t purchase any alcoholic beverages! 🙁
Legal or illegal?
age discrimination refers to opportunity for equallity. like an employer cant not promote someone for being fifty years old, because he wants to hire a twenty year old, so he doesnt have to re fill the position when the old dude dies or retires.
age discrimination has nothing to do with sales and services.
no its not illegal for a bartender to tell a fifteen year old to get off the bar, its a bar. and if your too young to drink, you dont belong at the bar. the act of you sitting at the bar in the first place implies one of two things.
1. your not that smart or,
2. your a little jerk, and your trying to cause a problem.
