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!

It was delightful

We had the pork chop and the garlic shrimp tonight. It was delightful. The pork chop comes with Brussel sprouts and a huckleberry sauce. The sweet of the sauce accentuated the pork chop. We also had the garlic shrimp. It was perfect. The staff was awesome. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely stunning experience

Absolutely stunning experience. I look for several characteristics in what I consider an outstanding restaurant and seldom find them all in one place…Hearsay, in downtown Ashland, Oregon, is one of those precious gems exemplifying all that I look for… brilliantly put together with a decor out of a 1920’s NYC jazz club. Stunning paintings of jazz scenes done by an artist from Mexico adorn the walls. In the background is a jazz soundtrack…service was gracious and attentive…menu was varied and our choices delicious…Not to be missed!

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.

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.
