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!

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.

Simply outstanding

I am a local and have been to Hearsay many times over the past few years. The service, quality of food, and drinks are simply outstanding! With so many restaurant choices in Ashland, Hearsay is my go-to establishment for a brunch with friends, business lunch, or romantic dinner. A lovely garden at the back of the speakeasy decorated restaurant is a romantic hidden gem, and the piano inside a lovely focal point for evening entertainment.

Everyone in our party was happy

If you are in Ashland, OR, come here for a fantastic meal! Cocktails, starters, entrees, and ambiance. We had the clam linguini, roasted duck, and the hamburger. They dealt with our dietary needs and were on spot with the service. Everyone in our party was happy!

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.

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.
