The main purpose is for worship. Many synagogues also have Torah-classes or private and group study. There is also socializing; especially when such events as a Kiddush is held in the synagogue.

Do Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues?

Orthodox Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues. Non-Orthodox Jewish men would be likely to go to non-Orthodox places of worship. In Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, there are prevalent numbers of non-Orthodox or Liberal synagogues. As a result, people in those places who are themselves Liberal can often find a Liberal synagogue in which to worship. Outside of those four countries, it is very rare to find a Liberal synagogue, so Jews of all religiousities (both Liberal and Orthodox) go to Orthodox synagogues for prayer, but will not perform all of the Orthodox Mitzvot when not in synagogue.
