Established in 2000, The Noose and Monkey had previously been known as 'My Fathers Moustache' and 'The Silver Slipper'. She was given it's unusual name by its previous owner and licensee who originated from Hartlepool. The story goes that during the Napoleonic Wars, fishermen from Hartlepool watched a French Warship founder off their coast. The only survivor was a monkey, dressed in French military uniform, presumably to amuse the officers on the ship. The fishermen assumed that this must be what Frenchmen looked like, and after a brief trial they summarily executed the poor monkey by hanging.
The Noose and Monkey is one of Aberdeen's most loved pubs; serving delicious food and a selection of thirst quenching beverages. Their dishes are all freshly prepared by their chefs, using quality local produce and the menus are changed seasonally.
