As Hurricane Irma continues to move toward Florida, restaurants and bars are setting plans in motion.

Some, like Gramps in Wynwood, plan to remain open as a literal port in a storm and communal meeting space. Other establishments, such as Spris and Pincho Factory, are postponing events originally scheduled to take place later this week.

Here is a running list of Miami restaurants that have provided hurricane opening/closure information. Check back here frequently. As restaurants and bars announce closures or plans to stay open, New Times will update this list. It's also a good idea to call before heading to any establishment because weather conditions could change at any moment. Most of all, be safe and don't venture out if conditions are bad.
