Apr 02, 2025
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The owners of Plaza District bar 'Good For A Few' were greeted by shattered glass and debris lying everywhere Tuesday morning.
"It was quite a shock to wake up to," said Co-owner Jordan Harris.
On security footage shared with News 4 from the Plaza District, a car is se
en driving into the front of the local bar at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.
Co-owner Tyler Maune said they weren't notified of the incident until 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

The Oklahoma City Police Department is still trying to find the person who was behind the wheel.
"Well, my first thought was, we are thankful that nobody got hurt and nobody was in the building. It wasn't occupied. It was in the middle of the night," said Maune.
The bar has been in business for a little over a year, stationed next door to 'New State Burgers & Spirits' that has been open for six years, also owned by Harris and Maune.
Charlie Alvarado, the bar's Director of Operations, said he initially thought the incident was an April Fool's joke.
However, he quickly realized the incident wasn't a prank, and reality settled in quickly.

"Sure enough, I got on the camera and checked, and our wall was completely destroyed," said Alvarado.
The past 24 hours have felt like chaos, but the owners say incidents like these come with being in the restaurant and bar industry.
"We're used to surprises, we're used to things breaking. We're used to fixing broken things," said Harris.
For now, they have a temporary wall up, and repairs will come later.
"We're not going to let this get us down, and ultimately, if we are truly to be a neighborhood bar, you have to be here for your community. And we're doing the best that we can to make sure that nobody misses a beat," said Alvarado.
Good For A Few is open Wednesday during normal business hours from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Staff members said they are grateful for the Plaza District community, as workers and residents helped get things cleaned up.
