The historic Chambers Hotel in Apollo is under new ownership.
Jennifer and Walter Seniow purchased the hotel that dates to 1889 late last spring.
They opened in November for about a month before facing covid-related shutdowns mandated by the state.
“Some people say we’re crazy to buy a bar during this,” said Walter, 49, originally from Oklahoma Borough.
Jennifer, 35, and from North Apollo, knows her way around the bar inside the Chambers; she’s worked there for two years serving drinks.
“They say it’s never a good time to buy a bar, but this was probably the worst time,” said Walter, who plans to continue his full-time job in manufacturing in addition to running the hotel.
