Hearsay Restaurant, Lounge and Garden in downtown Ashland, Oregon

Hearsay specializes in new American cuisine and creative craft cocktails served in a warm, inviting and distinctive atmosphere, with outdoor garden dining available during warmer months.

Located in the lower level of Ashland’s famous “Old Pink Church”, Hearsayis an inviting downtown restaurant and lounge with beautiful outdoor garden patio dining and frequent live musical entertainment. We are focused on providing guests with an outstanding dining, social and entertainment experience.

Hearsay’s modern take on American cuisine and craft cocktails combines with the distinct atmosphere and music of the Jazz Age to create a space that is warm, inviting, and unlike any other in Southern Oregon. Situated just below the beloved Oregon Cabaret Theatre and a short three-minute walk from the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Hearsay is ideally located for a delicious dinner and cocktails before an evening at the theater.

“Hearsay is wonderful! Food is imaginative, and always well prepared. The restaurant itself is lovely and cozy, but there is nothing quite so magical as a summer evening in their garden.”
Deborah from Portland, Oregon

When you step through Hearsay’s doors, you’ll be treated to an experience you won’t soon forget. And, as our name implies, we hope you’ll tell your friends about us, too.

Abyssinia!

Found a winner

First time in Ashland – found a winner… Loved the decor, and perfect food! We had steelhead and chips and the steelhead with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Wonderful drinks complimented perfectly done dinners; a dessert special (hard cannoli shells filled with whipped chocolate and avocado dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts) was CRAZY! Very attentive wait staff. I want to go back!

Hearsay was such a treat

Hearsay was such a treat! …. The garden feels like a beautiful oasis. It’s such a pleasant spot to eat a yummy meal. The drinks all looked like they were prepared with a lot of love. The scallops, though small were delicious. All of our food was really good. We were pleasantly surprised by this sweet place.

A “must visit” for our small group

We have visited Ashland 2-3 times a year for many years, and each visit includes a dinner at Hearsay. It’s definitely a preferred restaurant, and between the quality of the food and its proximity to the theaters is a “must visit” for our small group.

Best restaurant in town

Best restaurant in town. And probably one of the best I’ve ever been to…. Apart from the excellent food, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere really nice. There was a pianist, but the music was not too loud and we could talk without raising our voices …. It has become my new favorite restaurant where I’ll celebrate special occasions.

Super classy

Super classy! I’ve been here for pre-theater brunch and the food is wonderful. I have also visited just for drinks. Best dirty martini I have had in Ashland. The staff is my favorite. They always spend a little more time and add a little something extra! Love the decor and the patio is perfect!

Hearsay is wonderful! Food is imaginative, and always well prepared. The restaurant itself is lovely and cozy, but there is nothing quite so magical as a summer evening in their garden.
