"Checkpoint’s enviable Bristo Place location makes it ideal for those visiting Underbelly, The Pleasance, and Gilded Balloon, as does its 12 midnight closing time. The menu’s a relatively standard journey through normcore breakfast, brunch, and dinner, but the food is near-universally better than it needs to be, pricing is keen, and the lack of complication is perfect for the post-four-shows-in-a-day fug." - James Hansen
