The Soda Parlor: Super Chill Arcade in East Nashville

UPDATE: The Soda Parlor was hit by the March 2020 tornado that brought devastation to Nashville. Sadly, it is no longer in operation. If you are interested, they have set up a fundraiser here.

Raised counter in shop with black subway tile. The words "The Soda Parlor Nashville, TN" is in cool white font on top of the tile.

Fun arcade games, a selection of specialty bottled sodas and free parking– what more could you want? We set out on an adventure into East Nashville to celebrate my husband, Brent, turning 41. He requested a place with video games but had no idea what Nashville had to offer since we are fairly new to the city. A while back one of my neighbors mentioned The Soda Parlor and I kept it in the back of my mind for such a time as this.

A Fun For All Family Weekend at Lake Eufaula

Wood Cut out of Yogi Bear with two holes for kids faces.

For our annual camping trip, we went to Lake Eufaula this year. It’s located in southeastern Oklahoma and is the largest lake in the state. Since we had such a great time at a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Resort in Texas last summer with some old friends, we thought we would try one in Oklahoma.

The campground has RV spots and fully outfitted cabins (except for linens). The cabins were clean and simple with a picnic table, grill, and a fire pit outside. We had a little front porch with a view of the lake. Since the campground is not very big it is easy to walk to and from all the amenities. We played mini-golf, slid down a huge water slide, played bumper boats, and swam in the pool. Although my favorite by far was the Wibit, an inflatable playground on the lake. It felt like we were on Ninja Warrior!
