Hearsay Restaurant, Lounge and Garden in downtown Ashland, Oregon

Hearsay is located in the lower level of a historic renovated church, just beneath the ever-popular Oregon Cabaret Theatre and a block away from the world-famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Built in 1911, Ashland’s First Baptist Church (commonly referred to as the “Old Pink Church”) is now the home of Hearsay and the Oregon Cabaret Theatre. After being sold in the late 1960’s, the deteriorating building went through several owners and was frequently vandalized. At one point it was painted bright pink, making it one of Ashland’s most unique and memorable landmarks.

In 1982, the boarded-up building was purchased by Craig Hudson, who began a meticulous restoration effort. The upper level was transformed into what is now the renowned Oregon Cabaret Theatre. The lower level, along with the addition of a multi-tiered garden with patios, has become one of the most unique restaurant spaces in the Rogue Valley. Come visit us and see for yourself!
