You climb seemingly millions of stairs and erupt onto a rooftop.



You’re handed an order pad and sharpened pencil.



That’s not to say you’re left entirely to your own devices – sparkly, vivacious Keystone crew are everywhere, attending to your every need.



The first brings drinks that take me back to my teenage years - scoffing a packet of Samboy BBQ chips then reaching for a (warm), sandy bottle of beer. It’s called the BBQ Shandy ($8) and while it won’t be to everyone’s taste, it certainly put a smile on my dial.



For the others there is the deceptively easy Spiked Slider Slushie ($10) and the East Coast Cooler ($10) – it’s how we cool things down Eastside (and about the best use of Sauvignon Blanc I can imagine).



By now you’ve completely forgotten you’re not at the beach and you’ve developed a hankering for some barbeque.



I rate the perfectly rendered Crispy Lamb Short Ribs ($11/180g) with...



...a clever side of Grilled Watermelon ($16) fetta and mint.



Queensland Bug Tails ($22) should go without saying, especially with mango, chilli, peanuts, coriander and lime.



A Pork Fillet Skewer ($14) with a pot of chilli caramel should be weighed against hellishly good...



...Grilled Chilli Pineapple ($12) served sundae style with coconut sorbet.



Life’s sweet!
