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!

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.

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!

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!

The atmosphere was amazing

This beats any restaurant we have been to anywhere. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was over the top…attentive, kind, wonderful service. The food was 2nd to none. We will definitely be back. Our server, Monya, was not only gorgeous on the outside but on the inside as well. We felt like we knew her for years! Thank you for a fabulous evening from start to finish!
