Look Inside This Modern, Glass McDonald's in Georgia
The modern McDonald's is in Batumi, Georgia, which is located along the coast of the Black Sea.
Batumi is the capital of the Georgian republic of Adjara.
Batumi has even been called the "Las Vegas of the Black Sea."
The city is a prominent tourist destination due to its beaches, boardwalk, and 19th-century buildings.
The over-the-top McDonald's restaurant can be found in downtown Batumi.
The McDonald's stands out for its reflective glass exterior.
It was built in 2013 and designed by Harvard-educated architect Giorgi Khmaladze.
This McDonald's location won the award for The Best Commercial Building of 2014 by the architecture website ArchDaily, proving that even McDonald's restaurants can be architectural wonders.
Especially at night, visitors can marvel at the restaurant's glass walls.
The building is actually built on top of a gas station, though you'd never know from the front exterior.
The interior of the restaurant is noticeably more modern in design than other McDonald's locations.
From the light fixtures to the seating options, this McDonald's location sticks to a more minimal color palette by using black, white, and wooden accents.
Glass stairwells mirror the surrounding glass walls.
Since the walls are made from glass, patrons get to experience natural light while they eat.
The restaurant's furnishings are similarly modern in design.
No basic red-and-yellow seating here — these McDonald's seats look like works of art.
Visitors can choose to pay either at a self-service kiosk or by speaking to one of the cashiers.
The location serves classic McDonald's fare, despite looking like a fine-dining restaurant.
Once they have their food, patrons can gaze out onto the stretches of manicured grass around the building.
One of the most beautiful parts of visiting this McDonald's location is, surprisingly, the incredible view.
The stretches of green grass give the restaurant an open-air, natural feel.
Other parts of the restaurant look onto the beautiful reflecting pool that surrounds it.
In spring, flowers bloom on the lawns.
This makes for a great photo-op or simply a beautiful sight while patrons eat their meals.
Around the corner from the main entrance is the sign for the drive-thru.
This location advertises that it's open 24-hours.
