In all those situations, there has always been at least one TV in the bar so I can check on the scores of my favorite team. I can't even imagine a tavern without television. The sound is usually turned down but you can still see the screen.

I've talked to a few bands about playing bars. Pretty much all of them have said that they much rather play a club without TVs but it's almost impossible to find. That way the fans are watching them and not the game.

For me, it's hard to imagine a bar without a TV but apparently, it's a thing. There are plenty out there all over Illinois. If you're interested in checking one out for yourself, here are the top ones in our state.
