Murray Stenson Children: Did Murray Stenson Have Kids?

Murray Stenson, a legendary local bartender, passed suddenly on Friday, according to Paul Clarke of Cocktail Chronicles. In 2010, Stenson won the title of Best Bartender in America at the Tales of the Cocktail, a spirits industry competition that resembles a cross between the James Beard Awards and the Academy Awards—crossed with a lot of delicious drinks. From there, the commotion became a little insane.

2011 saw Stenson leave Zig Zag. After that, he began to move around more frequently. I’ve always had the impression that all he was searching for was a quiet setting where he could do what he did best—tend bar. Once news spread, onlookers would flock to marvel at it, and his presence would then become a Whole Thing. He would leave, and the cycle would start over.

Stenson had also met and married his second wife. “Married in ‘82 and divorced in ‘85.” He adds. They had two children together, a boy and a girl. He and his daughter, a schoolteacher, are closer now that she is older, he expresses his regrets over having missed a lot of their life.
