    1) The Gravediggers ('John Kavanagh'), 1 Prospect Square, Glasnevin, Dublin 9. (Glasnevin Cemetery).

    2) Grogan's ('J. Grogan'), 15 William St South, Dublin 2.

    With c. 1000 pubs in Dublin, surely there are far more pubs that do not torture us with the noise pollution that is other people's interests (usually sporting) on tv?

    Let's compile the first ever list of tv-free pubs in Dublin (2012).

    These four had one the last time I was in recently enough. Keoghs has one downstairs and one upstairs, spent Paddy's Day there watching the rugby.

    Hogan's kinda doesn't have one.

    They have a screen that they use for showing big sports events but it's only down sometimes and never at night.

    The Bank does have big screens for big sporting events, I'm afraid. And they're extremely loud.

    And what about a list of pubs which don't have live music and ban singing from customers. Nothing worse than being in a TV free pub and then being asked to "sshush" because some drunk who thinks he's Finbar Furey what to let rip or someone else produces a pair of spoons. Give me a loud wide screen TV anytime.

    No TV down the back but I'm pretty sure there's one in the main bar, just as you go through to the back bit. It wouldn't be the rugby pub it is without one, surely?

    Oh, actually, see top-right corner here:

    :) I've never known this to happen in L. Mulligan Grocer, The Black Sheep or Against The Grain, thankfully.

    L. Mulligan Grocer threw out five of them when they took over the lease. Ceremoniously, I believe.

    Though not like this:
