About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Charming
  • Lively
Nestled between the Lodge and the main street of Inverness, Whit’s Public House is pretty much everything you want in a pub: great food, fantastic staff, live music, an outdoor patio, and warm hospitality at its finest. While you’re getting wonderfully distracted by the amazing ocean views and toe-tapping tunes, enjoy fresh local seafood, hearty fare, and home-made, hand-tossed pizzas. Delight yourself with a beverage or two from our extensive selection of Cape Breton craft beers and spirits from across Nova Scotia and around the world. Then say “cheers” to your neighbour—be it the Gaelic “slàinte”, French “santé”, or Nova Scotian “sociable”!

    Chelsea, the food & beverage manager is the most kind, caring and pleasant person my husband and I encountered on our trip. We came to cape breton for our honeymoon, and since it was early may there was not much open. We booked a reservation for dinner at Whits at cabot Golf course, as my husband loves golf and this was a bucket list thing for him. Chelsea called me the morning of our reso to inform me that there was a mistake and they will actually be closed- the reservations were not blocked off mistakingly. But she knew it was a special occasion- our honeymoon. She genuinely felt terrible. and was willing to do anything it took to still make a memorable experience for us. She offered to have the Chef make something to- go for us as there weren’t other food options nearby open. When we got there she was so very kind and gracious. She offered to give us a private tour walking onto the greens of the course - which made my husbands whole trip. They prepared a delicious meal for us to- go included with starters, mains, deserts and drinks. I can’t say enough about this establishment but specifically Chelsea. They are lucky to have someone who is so passionate about what they do. Thank you!!

    Onion rings and fries were great. Burger described as having cheddar cheese - tasted more like sliced American cheese. I was charged full price twice for my drink (Diet Pepsi) - I didn’t realized refills were not complimentary. Service was amazing, as was the entertainment and atmosphere.

    My family of 2 adult sons, my husband, and I all enjoyed our dinner at Whit’s. We were told reservations were not next, but I made one anyway, and we were seated instantly. The food was good, and the service was friendly and prompt. I didn’t realize when I booked it that it was right on the Cabot Cape Breton property, so that was a nice surprise.

    Similar to too many restaurants / pubs, music too loud to have comfortable conversation (which is what most people want to have when out for a meal with friends etc)
