The Just Hold On hitmaker looked a little bleary-eyed as he joined the ITV show's series 9 winner in the West Hollywood hotspot.
Louis cut a casual figure in a taupe-coloured sweater which he teamed with ripped lightwash jeans and white lace-up trainers.
Styling his floppy locks in his signature side-swept 'do, the singer enjoyed a quick chat with James as they both puffed on cigarettes.
James echoed his pal's laidback look, opting for a simple black t-shirt which pulled focus to his tattooed arms.

The pair looked in high spirits as they partied the night away, sharing jokes and drinks together throughout the evening.
Despite the friendly exchange, the duo shared a fiery feud back in 2013 after James hit out at One Direction and branded Louis 'a little b***h'.
The Say You Won't Let Go hitmaker famously tweeted: 'And f**k boybands! Bring on the hate I don't wanna be popular.
'Apart from JLS who are genuinely the coolest people I've met in music.'
But the pair have since buried the hatchet and plan to make sweet music together.
Louis has had a tumultuous few months, following the death of his mother, Johannah Deakin, and recent split from long-term girlfriend Danielle Campbell.

But the brave singer, who recently achieved his first solo number one, has channelled his emotions into his music.
Discussing his first solo single, which topped the iTunes charts in 29 countries, he insisted on-air that the hit wasn't penned about the prospect of losing his beloved mum.
He explained: 'As a sentiment, it’s about whatever you’ve got going through your life at no matter what capacity.
'If it’s a bit of a struggle, you just have to fight and stay positive and don’t sit on your ass and feel sorry for yourself.
'Just say, "I will make something up and I will make it better."'
