HKG Arrivals, Landside: Where to have a beer?
In a couple of weeks I'll be arriving into HKG and I will have to wait for about 90 minutes for some friends to come in from London, before we all head off to our hotel together (land transport has been arranged).
This will be mid afternoon, so it would be nice to find somewhere where I can sit down and have a beer to pass the time.
I'm OWE, and flying in on CX, so I could use The Arrival, but I gather (!) there's no alcohol served. Is that right? And if so, any other suggestions?

If it's literally just about beer, some of the restaurants there serve alc.
For example Crystal Jade La Mian Xia Long Bao in the arrivals hall near the exit to Airport Express train serve beer.
Ambiance sucks though if you're looking for a proper airport bar this won't be your best pick.

I think there's a Heineken bar at T2 next to the Chinese resturant? Bit far though

IIRC The Arrival has one kind of canned beer. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing beer when I was there recently.

Plenty! First, those inside MTR stations, apparently. But like one OUTSIDE the fare area at the Kam Sheung Rd station where I live. It closes around 0030, a good 15 minutes before the last train departs.
But the one I found most incredible was on the ground floor of one the government offices in N. Wan Chai. It was closing when I walked by around 6pm on a work day. Those government workers really empty out right at 5pm.
