Checkers Bar & Grill

Zomba Opened Opening date unknown

Open till midnight, the default when everything else has closed

Checkers sits at the Skinala three-way junction, a straightforward bar and grill built for drinking and grilled food rather than a tasting menu. It runs from midday to midnight, longer than most sit-down restaurants near the centre.

The draw is the grill itself: chargrilled meat paired with a full bar. The setting is more about the crowd and the hours than the decor. Zomba's dining scene closes early, so staying open reliably into the night carries its own weight.

Good to know

• It runs from noon to midnight most days - one of the later closing times in Zomba.
• Go for the grilled plates rather than the sides; that's what the kitchen is built around.
