Starbucks has submitted a licensing application to sell alcohol at its outlet in Hull’s Paragon railway station.
The American coffee chain is seeking permission to sell drinks between 06:00 and 23:00 BST.
The US coffeehouse has two sites in Hull city centre in addition to the Paragon site.
Hull City Council will consider the application at a later date.
A Starbucks spokesperson told the Local Democracy Reporting Service a “small number” of outlets at railways stations were already licensed to sell alcohol and offered “single-serve” takeaway items, including beer and wine.
“We know that some train journeys are best enjoyed with something other than a coffee,” they said.
