The Electric Cinema is proud to be associated with La Fee Absinthe.
We are only one of a handful of establishments in the country to serve Parisian absinthe using a traditional fountain.

These fountains were found in France in the 19th century and it was not uncommon to see one at each end of the bar pouring four classes simultaneously.

You can find more information on La Fee here: www.lafeeabsinthe.com
and: www.eAbsinthe.com

Take a look at our gallery for pictures of the fantastic La Fee green London bus and our very own absinthe fairies who served La Fee Bohemian Absinth and Parisian Absinthe at our recent party.
