As Miami braces for Hurricane Irma, with much of Miami-Dade under a mandatory evacuation order, here is a list of restaurants and bars that will be open today, Friday, September 8, offering free water fills, ready-made meals, and in-house food and drink specials.

Nearly all restaurants on this list will be closed Saturday and Sunday, and will remain closed into next week depending on Hurricane Irma's aftermath. Keep in mind, information is subject to change based on weather conditions. We suggest calling ahead before heading to any establishment. Most of all, be safe and don't venture out if conditions are bad.
