No place to do, nowhere to do

1. There is no place to have a beer.

2. There is nowhere to have a beer.

3. There is no room to have a beer.

Q1) Which ones are correct English?

I think only 3 is wrong and 3 should be "There is no room to have a beer in".

Q2) In 1,2,3, do "to have a beer" grammatically modify or describe "no place", "nowhere", "no room"?

3. There is no room to have a beer.
Q1) Which ones are correct English?

(1) and (2) are OK. (3) is disrupted by the common expression "no room" meaning "not enough space" (e.g. a place is too crowded), rather than that a room does not exist.

1. There is no place to have a beer.

2. There is nowhere to have a beer.

3. There is no room to have a beer.

Q1) Which ones are correct English?

They're all correct. I take 'room' to mean 'space' in 3. Adding 'in' doesn't make sense.
