When the owner of one of our other faves, Jack Doherty of Doherty’s in Pawtucket, branched out to Warwick we were psyched as we’re Rhode Islanders and don’t like to drive “all the way” to The Bucket. Doherty’s features an incredible beer selection and really good pub food. Our hopes were high, and met, at the Shannon View Inn. The same attention to detail. The same interesting beer selection. The same hearty food. It was all here, including brunch. Diners in Warwick quickly caught on to the good things going on here. The build your own burger on a pretzel roll is perfect if you want to make your own creation or check out one of their creative options. The 3 Little Pigs burger is, literally, an a-pork-alypse. Burger…pulled pork…jalepeno bacon and maple brown sugar bacon…pretzel roll. It is quite amazing. (Although probably not on most New Year’s resolution lists.) Pair it with one of the craft beers–the bartender suggested a great I.P.A.–and some sweet potato tater tots. We will also be back for brunch sometime soon. The 32 ounce pitchers of Bloody Marys or Mimosas are calling our name. You’ve got to love an Irish pub that helps heal the hangovers it created! 1901 Post Rd. 732-0999, www.shannonviewinn.com
