Not defending the law but questioning your interpretation.

Does requiring by law an age of 21 to enter a bar violate freedom of assembly? Lots of important political events and discussion historically in the US have occurred at taverns.

"Have occurred" probably mostly includes incidents before children were legally forbidden from bars. The 21yo limitation as a uniform restriction only dates back to circa 1980s.
