How to unlock the 5 o'clock achievement in Metro Exodus - Definitive Guide
You can get it in the TAIGA level after you clear the last Pirate camp by lifting the gates and sailing a boat through them. Don't worry, triggering this achievement won't interfere with the Forrest Child achievement as Admiral is not counted as an enemy and you won't need to fight him at all.
You will then arrive at a Sawmill area, which you will recognize by all the toxic gases that necessitate a gasmask, and shrimp enemies attacking you. You need to get to the top of the Sawmill by using the elevator in the half-flooded main building. To get that elevator to work you need to first activate the generator that is situated in the shack to the right of the main building - luckily it is the only generator in the game that already has enough juice to fire right up so you don't have to look for a canister.
Afterwards follow the wires to the switchboard in the top left corner of the main building and switch it on. Then walk over to the elevator in the middle right of that same building and take it up.
Once up there you will face a door which you can kick open to meet the Admiral. Lower your weapon and sit down at the table once he (or rather one of his friends) mentions it - he kicks a chair over to you. Then sit down, have a couple of sips of tea (don't worry, there are no side effects), and listen to him and his companions speak for a while. Eventually he will ask his friend to play the guitar but the guy clearly doesn't want to, so pick it when the prompt appears and play for a bit. At that point the Admiral will light up his pipe (you don't need to smoke even though you are given a prompt) and eventually fall asleep, at which point the achievement should pop.
Loot the room and cut down a rope ladder in the corner. You will then be able to rappel over to the next location and continue with the level.

I found this achievement by accident and found this little interaction very lovely. In a post apocalyptic world even the little things will mean so much more than they seem.

The location is part of the Story progress in this level. you can't miss it. Basically you have to sit down, play after a while with the guitar and wait that the admiral asleep. This all takes about 8-10 minutes. At the table you can drink a cup of tea if you want.
Quick video guide:
I think this is missable if you don't stay for the whole dialogue.
Listen to the Admiral ramble for 8 or so minuets. Play the guitar when prompted, he will fall asleep, at which point you can get up and carry on with the mission and the achievement should pop.

In this video guide I will show you how to take part in the Admiral's tea party on the level TAIGA. Now this is near the end of the mission after you restore power to the elevator and go up top a roof. Once you go through the door up there he will be in the next room. Just stand there and wait for him to tell you to sit down and just listen to him talk for about 10 minutes. You know your almost done when you start playing guitar and afterwards he will start to sleep. Once he falls asleep the achievement will pop.
Towards the end of the Taiga level you will need to power a lift inside a small factory. Once you have done this and used the lift, you will enter the humble abode of a character called 'The Admiral'. For this achievement you need to wait and listen to his dialogue and when he offers, take a seat at his table and join in the tea party. The achievement will unlock after the entire party has played out.
