Blake Fogelsong

Owner/Director of Operations

Blake Fogelsong is a third-generation restaurateur and the driving force behind Clancy’s Hospitality, a family-owned group that operates seven acclaimed restaurant concepts across Indiana and Ohio. With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Blake blends tradition with innovation—reimagining what it means to create restaurants with soul, character, and community impact.

A graduate of Ball State University with a degree in Marketing and Professional Selling, Blake combines a deep love for service with a sharp business acumen. Under his leadership, Clancy’s has expanded and evolved, introducing standout concepts like The Fountain Room—a modern supper club in Indianapolis’ Bottleworks District—and Grindstone on the Monon, a rustic Americana spot in the heart of Westfield.

Blake is passionate about creating unforgettable guest experiences through thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and crave-worthy menus. He’s also committed to cultivating strong internal culture—mentoring his teams and empowering staff to treat every guest like a friend walking through the front door.

Beyond the restaurants, Blake sits on the Board of Directors for the Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association and is a proud advocate for using hospitality as a force for good—through charity events, food drives, and partnerships with local nonprofits.

Whether he’s crafting a new cocktail list, working a dining room on a Friday night, or dreaming up the next big idea over black coffee and a notepad, Blake stays grounded in one mission: to serve others with excellence, heart, and a little bit of flair.
