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!

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.

The food is delightful, and the craft cocktails are the best in Ashland. Most beautiful decor and lovely garden seating.

Transport yourself to the 20s

Transport yourself to the 20s, think speakeasy. This restaurant takes you back. The jazz big band creates the atmosphere to take you away. Drinks awesome. The fried artichoke appetizer is a must. I had the appetizer scallops and my partner the Buddha bowl, both light up your tongue to interesting palettes of flavor. I ordered the fresh pea soup with the special honey wheat bread, which was totally awesome.

Atmosphere was lively and fun

We came in for appetizers on New Years Eve and were blown away by this place. Decorated mostly Art Deco, the atmosphere was lively and fun…. We will be coming back for a full blown dinner very soon. You need to try this place, really. Really.

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.

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.

The food was delightful

The food was delightful. I’m not vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free, but I would order the Seasonal Veggie Plate again. It was unparalleled for taste combinations and textures.

Loved this place

Loved this place. Visiting from New England and stumbled upon [this and had] the perfect soundtrack for a lovely dinner. I will be back. And if you make a reservation, ask for Clarissa to be your server. She’s an absolute gem.
