Restaurant Review: Cork's Black Market is more vibrant than the decor suggests

"There are fierce, funky, and quite striking murals high above a floor rimmed with bright green artificial grass, but when all is said and done, this market is undoubtedly ‘black’ which may explain a rather muted atmosphere when anything less than rammed."
