About

Nestled between the Lodge and the main street of Inverness, Whit’s Public House is 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 local seafood and upscale pub fare with beverages 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”!
