[Star Wars] Is it common on Tatooine for teenagers to go to bars? What’s the actual drinking age in the Empire?

I was wondering if Luke had ever been to a bar before Mos Eisley.

Also, is that age different from in the Republic?

Luke was 19 - an adult. There's never been any statements made that the age when one becomes a legal adult is separate from the legal drinking age in any Star Wars culture.

Worth noting that IRL, many states in the US had the legal drinking age at 18 at the time, and in other parts of the world the age is still in many cases as low as 16 for drinking beer with dinner, though its usually higher for going out to bars.
