About がある + Noun
- ピアノがあるレストラン。A restaurant with a piano.
- コンビニがあるビル。A building that has a convenience store.
- 漫画はある本屋。A book store that has manga. (Unnatural, as it is impossible to tell whether manga is the only thing at one particular bookstore, or if manga is something that bookstores 'in general' have)
- 綺麗な川のある山。A mountain with a beautiful river. (Natural in Japanese, but less common than が)

HeyThis is not exactly about ある, but in DBJG, on page 376 you have an explanation of the relative clauses in Japanese, がある + Noun is a case of that.
Cheers

Why is があります incorrect? As in ベッドがあります部屋。
