I never knew that kiddush clubs like that really existed. I was sure it was some kind of urban legend and that snopes would declare it all a hoax.
Alas, when I was a young child, I attended a shul that had a kiddush club. Having no father or older brothers present in the shul, however, may have helped me, in that no one that I looked at as a Jewish role model attended one.
In the shuls that I’ve davened in regularly for the last twenty six years, there was no “kiddush club” during davening.
