We used to go to that club on Saturday night ….?
Isn’t it
Didn’t we
Don’t we

Use we not.
Forklaring
The appropriate option to fill in the blank space is "B. Didn’t we."
The sentence structure suggests that the speaker is referring to a past habit or action ("We used to go to that club on Saturday night"). When forming a tag question to seek confirmation or agreement, it's consistent with past actions to use the auxiliary verb in the past as well. Therefore, "Didn’t we" is the correct choice for maintaining grammatical accuracy in this context.
