Josh Henderson and his Huxley Wallace Collective are on schedule to open their latest venture, Quality Athletics, in time for Seahawks opening season this Thursday reports Eater. The sports bar in Pioneer Square won’t be your typical one; instead it’s equal parts dining room and bar, though on game days, all bar. There’ll be an outdoor patio, a wood-fired grill and a menu and design aesthetic similar to Westward.
