Aberdeen Pubs and Bars 21: The Noose and Monkey

The Noose and Monkey

“The Noose and Monkey is one of Aberdeen’s most loved pubs, serving food & drink. Situated in the heart of the Rosemount area, right next to His Majesty’s Theatre, it’s a favourite destination for pre-show meals and drinks. The venue has been frequented by many famous stars performing at these shows.

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 it’s previous owner and licensee who originated from Hartlepool. The story goes that during 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.”

Aberdeen Restaurants: Foodstory

“Foodstory are a group of people who, in 2013, launched a kickstarter with a dream of building a space where anyone of any age, any walk of life of life could not just eat great, healthy food but could go and feel part of a community through art and music. They believe in bringing people together. They built the cafe themselves, and most of the furniture was donated or built from salvaged parts, so the shelves are a bit wonky, the chairs are odd, and their ageing, yet beautiful-sounding Monington & Weston piano was left to them by one of the founders, Sandy’s late grandfather. You can play it if you like.
From morning to evening, Foodstory serve healthy, locally-sourced food for all dietary requirements, brew tasty tasty coffee, and stage regular events to give people a chance to get together and have fun. Since the very beginning, they have worked passionately to employ staff who share not only a passion for healthy food and great coffee, but also the love of bringing people together.
Foodstory think that Aberdeen is a great city with amazing people in it and wanted to create a space that the city is proud of for many years. They want to serve less meat in the cafe as they feel that focusing on a more veggie diet is friendlier to our planet. Using a lot of organic vegetables and food in their dishes and mostly local cheeses, eggs, chutneys, jams; they make everything else themselves- soups, hot pots, dips, salads, cakes etc. Foodstory want you to feel inspired and feel good when you eat in the café.”
