A small drink cart that carries alcohol and alcohol accessories. Typically rolled out at 5PM.
The term was coined by Chicago reporter, Jim Johnson: "When I was covering City Hall, there was a reporter there who liked to have a few drinks before -- and occasionally during -- the press conferences. When it came time to head out for after-work cocktails, he'd already be slurring his words, and he'd loudly suggest that we all head out for a few 'canarbles.' We didn't know what word he was actually trying to say, but we knew what he meant."
