TV Protection for Bars & Restaurants
TV Protection for Bars, Sports Bars & Restaurants
Short answer: To protect TVs in a bar or restaurant, use a clear acrylic TV screen protector on screens within reach of customers and staff, and a custom TV enclosure where TVs need full coverage or tamper resistance. For patios, a weather-resistant outdoor TV cover protects the TV when it is not in use. TV Armor products are made in New Jersey, and bars, nightclubs and restaurants are among our long-time commercial customers.
Game nights, crowded bar tops, thrown objects, cleaning chemicals and constant use are hard on screens, and a cracked panel during a big game means lost viewing and a replacement bill. Most manufacturer warranties do not cover damaged screens, and the extended warranties sold by retailers usually don't either.
Which Protection Fits Your Space
| Location | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Behind the bar / along walls | TV screen protector | Low profile, keeps the TV's look, stops thrown objects and splashes |
| Bright rooms, windows | Anti-glare TV screen protector | Cuts reflections; best for viewers within about 45° of center |
| High-risk or reachable TVs | Custom TV enclosure | Full coverage, built to your TV and mount |
| Covered patios | Outdoor TV cover | 600D polyester, water and mildew resistant; for when the TV is off |

Outdoor Patios and Rooftop Bars
Our outdoor TV covers fit TVs from 30" to 55" on a stand, tilt mount or articulating mount, close with hook and loop, and include a remote pocket. They help keep dust and light moisture off when the TV is not in use. They are not meant to withstand direct rain, freezing temperatures or extreme heat, and indoor TVs are not weatherproof. For permanent outdoor installs, ask about our custom outdoor enclosures, which are weather-resistant (not weatherproof) and best paired with an outdoor-rated TV.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do bars protect their TVs?
Most use a clear acrylic TV screen protector on reachable screens and a custom enclosure where full coverage or tamper resistance is needed.
Will a screen protector hurt the picture during games?
TV Armor protectors are optically clear acrylic. Standard acrylic reflects light similarly to a glass screen. In bright rooms, the anti-glare version cuts reflections but narrows the best viewing angle to about 45° from center.
Can I protect a patio TV?
Yes. Use an outdoor TV cover when the TV is off, or a custom outdoor enclosure for permanent installs. Indoor TVs are not weatherproof.
What sizes are available?
Screen protectors fit 19"–70"+ TVs, with custom sizes available. Outdoor covers fit 30"–55".
Do you offer discounts for restaurants with many TVs?
Yes, commercial and wholesale discounts are available. Email CommercialSales@TV-Armor.com or call (800) 890-0073.
How do I clean an acrylic TV protector?
Use an acrylic-safe, anti-static cleaner such as Brillianize with a microfiber cloth. Avoid ammonia and alcohol.
