Casino at Owlerton: The Basics
Napoleons Casino and Restaurant is located at 17 Livesey Street, Owlerton, Sheffield, S6 2BL. It sits just off Penistone Road (A61), roughly three miles from the city centre and directly beside Owlerton Greyhound Stadium. Within Sheffield there are two Napoleons casinos; the other is on Ecclesall Road, S11 8TD. The Owlerton property is generally regarded as the larger, more fully kitted-out site.
The venue is run by A and S Leisure Group Limited, a privately owned Yorkshire operator with its registered office at 15 Livesey Street - essentially the same complex. This group manages five casinos across the north of England in Sheffield, Hull, Leeds, Bradford and Manchester. On the UK Gambling Commission public register, the Owlerton premises are listed under account number 1146.

The Owlerton casino first opened its doors in 1996, making it one of the longer-established licensed gaming spots in the city. A full refurbishment has been announced for 2025, with the revamped venue expected to be back in use around mid-November 2025.
Opening Hours
The main casino floor is open every day from 13:00 right through to 06:00. The bar also starts serving from 13:00 and usually runs until at least 04:00; at times, the venue’s social media has mentioned closing at 05:00, so it is worth ringing 0114 285 5566 to double-check on the night. Dinner is served between 17:00 and 22:00, while bar food and a separate late-night menu run from 15:00 until 03:00.

Free on-site parking is available for guests during opening hours. The closest Supertram stop is Hillsborough, around a 10-minute walk away along Bradfield Road. Buses serving the Hillsborough area also pass nearby. For taxis, Napoleons points visitors toward Veezu, bookable on 0114 239 3939. The building is set up for wheelchair access, with suitable parking, step-free entry and accessible toilets.
Dress is smart casual rather than formal. There is no need to arrange membership in advance: new visitors simply sign in at reception and show valid photo ID confirming they are at least 18 years old.
One practical point that tends to make visits smoother: if you are planning to sit down for dinner and then play, booking the restaurant in advance usually works better than relying on walk-in space, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights.
Gaming Floor
The Owlerton gaming floor mixes live tables with electronic machines. Confirmed games include:
- American roulette
- Blackjack
- Poker table games
- Texas Hold’em cash games (from 20:00 daily)
- Texas Hold’em tournaments
- Slot machines
- Electronic roulette
Texas Hold’em cash games normally begin from 20:00 each evening. Tournament schedules are more fluid and can move around, so current dates and start times are best checked either with the casino directly or via the @NapsSheffield account on X. All play is in GBP.
A regular talking point for the venue is the heated outdoor gaming terrace. Local reports describe it as the first outdoor gaming terrace outside London, which is a fair description. It allows open-air play during casino hours, depending on the weather and conditions on the night.
