MEET THE OWNERS
“Our lively Pub has become a kind of ‘home away from home’ for many locals and visitors over the years. We have created a cozy spot in the hamlet of Mabou, on the west coast of Cape Breton, which offers a delicious menu of Nova Scotia home cooking with a side order of live traditional music, 7 days a week!”
World-renowned singers Heather, Cookie & Raylene Rankin along with their eldest sister Genevieve Fakoory, purchased the Red Shoe Pub in 2004 and opened its doors in 2005.
Born and raised in the community of Mabou, the Rankin Sisters wanted to create something that gave back to their community. The Shoe currently employs 37+ people and is one of the top tourism destination spots in Nova Scotia.
We are proud to introduce you to two of our key team members who play a vital role in ensuring that our customers have an exceptional dining experience. Our head chef Kate Campbell and general manager, Angie Smith, bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and passion to their respective roles, and who both work tirelessly to ensure that our guests receive the highest level of service possible.
