We went specially to this restaurant because of good reviews and nice pictures of place. Road to this building it is quite bad but this is not the most important. Live music was good. All interior and garden very cozy.
However finally we didn't eat there. Why?
Because from getting menu till decision that we are changing place it was 30 minutes!
Then another 10 we were looking in phones some other place still having hope somebody will come to us.
40 minutes in total then at the table near bar and nothing.
Very sad.

We love Guitarwoodhouse! The design and build of the restaurant/bar look amazing; it’s so original. This place is perfect for bringing friends and family to relax and listen to live music. And it’s always great fun when customers jam with the performers or dance along to the music. Their Wifi is reliable and the drinks and cocktails are very affordable. The owners and staff are all really lovely and I really enjoy bringing friends to this hidden gem.

This place is really unique. Definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed our food immensely. The atmosphere is top notch. Service was good. Just enough off the beaten path so it was not too busy. If I was in Panglao I would take time to go here.

We enjoyed a nice meal while listening to good live music. It’s worth to have a dinner or just a few craft beers at the guitarwoodhouse

Went there before getting dark and was an inspired decision!
The 'road' is like more finding your way through and challenging even for motocross!
As food had some fries paired with beer.
Nice idea and a good way to attract people.

Staying at the hostel MadMonkey 5 minutes away, we found about that place on Google, and gave it a shot. A bit hidden but really worth it. Would definitively recommend it to anyone staying at Panglao. The restaurant shaped as a guitar is very cute and charming, cocktails and food are amazing, staff is nice and the music vibe make it all. We even got to « sing » with the artists. Loved it!

A Disappointing Dining Experience
I recently visited a restaurant with high hopes of enjoying a delightful evening, but alas, my experience left much to be desired. While the ambiance and service were decent, the quality of their cutlery was abysmal.
To my surprise, instead of the usual stainless steel utensils, they served us with wooden cutlery. As I was enjoying my meal, the wood fork snapped in half.
Naturally, I brought the broken utensil to the attention of the staff, expecting an apology. However, I was shocked when they nonchalantly demanded that I pay a fee for the damaged cutlery. It was beyond unreasonable to hold me responsible for an item that broke while I was using it to consume my meal.
This incident left a sour taste in my mouth, quite literally. It's disheartening to think that a restaurant would prioritize profits over customer satisfaction. The lack of accountability and the audacity to demand payment for their faulty cutlery is simply unacceptable.
While there may have been some positive aspects to my dining experience, the incident with the wooden fork overshadowed any enjoyment I might have had. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this establishment to others until they rectify their customer service and replace their subpar cutlery.
The restaurant has the potential to be so much better, but until they address these issues, it falls short of providing a truly satisfying dining experience.

There are not too many restaurants where you can say that the craft and love that goes into their fine meals also went into creating this physical space. The interior, walls, the tables - even the serving bowls and cutlery are all hewn from wood.
A nice section of beers. Delicious dishes, with lots of vegetarian choices. Wonderful singing from a man with a great repertoire.
It’s been a year since my wife and I first visited this restaurant. I will update with more information after our visit in July 2023. Looking forward to coming back.
This area has seen many recent openings. I think that the Guitar Wooden House is the best among many goof restaurants.
Cash only, I recall.

Wonderful hidden place.
You need to walk approximately 300m from the Main Street. The road looks shady but is definitively worth it.
Food was good and of course the live music brings this building into real great atmosphere.
