Don't take this as fact as laws may have changed. But...it is legal to drink alcohol if with family and it's part of a meal.
You can enter a pub at the age of 14 if accompanied by parents and you are eating a meal.
You can't approach the bar until you are 16. And even then you can only buy non alcoholic drinks.
At 18 you can approach the bar and buy alcohol.
Clubs tend to have their own rules.
Many nightclubs for example might have a 21+ entry policy.
Private social clubs again have similar rules although things like Servicemens clubs will often allow youngsters in certain areas.
