Channel Cafe doesn’t feel like Boston. With its painted-brick and rock walls, impossibly high ceiling, mismatched furniture, worn floorboards and eclectic artwork, it feels more like Seattle, the East Village or Harvard Square, back in the day.

At once a dining room, art gallery and local hangout, this two-story tall basement restaurant in the Artist Building co-op at 300 Summer St. is little-known outside the community of artists, architects, attorneys and businesspeople who live and work in the Fort Point Channel neighborhood.
