Where: El Pueblo Meat Market at 2085 E. Apache in Tempe. You're going to have to make about a five-minute walk from the stop, which, after only two stops and two drinks, should be doable. 

Drink: When you find yourself peering into a meat market looking for a drink, you know you've hit rock bottom. Luckily that's where clams live. For stop numero 3 we're going to suggest picking up a Clamato and a Budweiser chaser for the tidy sum of a few bucks. 

Scene: There may be worse places to drink, but I haven't seen any. There is less than much scenery to speak of outside the joint, and inside, you're going to look a little peculiar two-fisting a clammy concoction in one hand and a brew in the other. Our suggestion: Drink your drink, but do it quickly, then get back on the train.
