... I know a little about the restaurant game ol’ son so you keep your bridge and the stupid book.
Most of the restaurants I frequent I know the chefs and/or owners. More often than not either the chef or owners will join us for a port or single malt with a nice cheese platter at the end of the evening.
I am neither on a high horse or pontificating when I talk about a restaurant having a TV set. The last eatery I went to that had a TV set was in 1980 when on a road trip around Australia.
I go to lots of restaurants and none of them have a TV set. Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go to many restaurants without televisions but none that have a large bar without them. Too many sports fans. I'm surprised that's not the same in Australia which is stereotyped, accurately or not, as being people with sports fans and enthusiastic drinkers. :-)
I do know that the best restaurants you can find have kitchens that, at times, would make one wretch.

For clarity, I do not eat at establishments that have TV sets on the wall.
I occasionally might be at a bar or club that serves food that has a TV in it BUT I don’t eat there.
I never sit at a bar staring aimlessly at a TV set.
I have never been one to watch sports at a bar. I watch sports either at the venue or at home.
There are countless bars & clubs in Australia with multiple TV sets but they are not places I frequent.
I will repeat, I go to many restaurants but none of them have a TV set.
