Quay (pronounced "Key") Street, Galway's tamer cousin of New Orlean's Bourbon Street, at about 9:30 p.m. (At this latitude, it's not dark till after 10 p.m., but most restaurants close at 9. We did have excellent takeout Turkish kebabs from a shop open late, though.) Detail:

Our hotel is below. I'm using the wifi from the bar that leaks upstairs.
