The Antelope, now housing a restaurant called Hajee's Spices, is a grade II listed building on the Stratford Road in Sparkhill, Birmingham, England.[1] It opened as a public house called The Antelope in 1924.[2]

The building features bas-relief carvings designed by local artist William Bloye and sculpted by his assistant, Tom Wright. The Antelope pub was synonymous in the 1980's with Irish builders and was often frequented by such local legends as Frank McLoughlin and Tony Gilleran. [3]
