CHICAGO - Jan. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- The bar and nightlife industry is a fickle one; one day you’re in, the next day you’re out.  So when a venue shows staying power and experiences success decade after decade it’s something to celebrate. This year, Lakeview bar Tai’s Til 4 will toast 52 years in business.  As Chicago’s oldest late-night establishment (one of the first in the city to secure a 4am liquor license) Tai’s has long been a go-to spot for those in the industry.  Head to Tai’s after hours (any time after 1:30 am) and you’re likely to see any number of your favorite bartenders, waitresses and other employees from bars and restaurants around the city.

Founded in 1961 by Thomas Itagaki, Tai’s Til 4 is now owned and operated by his son, industry veteran Blake Itagaki.  The secret to their staying power?  Part of the bar’s success comes from its simplicity.  The concept is as basic as it gets (a laidback local watering hole that offers good drinks and great music) but resonates with patrons across all demographics.  Itagaki also believes that having a clear and consistent identity is a big reason for their ongoing success.  “We’ve never tried to be something we’re not,” he says.  “We don’t follow trends or adhere to the latest fad.  We know what kind of bar we are and we focus on being the best version of that we can possibly be.”

Later this month Tai’s Til 4 will host their annual guest bartending series.  Back by popular demand this bartending competition pits local talent against each other for a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas.  Bartenders from around the city work in teams of two on their designated night.  A true test of charisma and charm, whichever team rings in the most drinks at the end of the competition wins.

Tai’s Til 4 offers rotating daily drink specials, which can be viewed on their Facebook page and Twitter feed.
